There’s a fairly easy thought experiment we can do. If the US cut back its military to what was only necessary for domestic defence, and NATO dissolved, what would the rest of Europe do? I think a lot of countries would bolster their defense spending significantly.
Defense contractors certainly get a lot more wealthy, but the rest of the West benefits considerably from the US military nonetheless.
