Yeh, I've heard this argument before. If you analyze it, you'll realize it's BS.
You can reduce spending without creating a power vacuum. E.g. reducing the budget by 10% isn't going to create a power vacuum nor shock its allies.
The reality is that their is no political will to start reducing spending on the military, nor is their desire by its civilians to do so. The question is why?
