I think the relevant question is the one we talked about back then; what if they won't/don't? Are we willing to accept the consequences if we lower our funding and they don't pick up the slack?

I'm with cuervo on this. What you're saying is not wrong, but it does have to be balanced against the alternative. I think a world in which nations like the United States don't intervene to stop aggressors is a world in which more aggression happens until we have to intervene anyway but at greater cost.
