Good point - or it's a double-whammy economic warfare + reserves for weapons manufacturing; ideally it's also them shooting themselves in the foot and some ally country is seeing the business opportunity, and security threat, and will ramp up production. In smart, organized nations, they'll hopefully realize this and simply go into debt - ideally at the same rate as other allies who ideally share the burden, so no one is "getting behind" more than the other ally.
