Both Japan and Germany had to all but abandon their military and defense spending post world war 2 for obvious reasons. Their economies are thriving to this day because of it. Canada, although I have my complaints, is thriving for the most part as well. Using taxes to pay for things the people need and growth puts things in the right direction at least. Nothing is perfect and all our nations make mistakes along the way, but bankrupting a nation on its military armaments is never the solution. More so now than ever.
They can do this with Americans bearing most of the costs or protecting them.
