The only thing that supports current rule of law around the world is might of US military. If you cut spending of US military to 0 then tomorrow we would be living in a different world. Because structure of the whole world is anarchistic, there is no police that would enforce rule of law, there is no one you can call if other country invade you. Of course because of USD hegemony as world currency, supported by its military power US gets unfair advantage but I'd rather live peacefully in the so called west under US influence than under Russian or Chinese.
Thinking that we can live in beautiful world in peace without wars and military is delusional and unrealistic. There was hope in 90s that we can bring liberal democracy to all countries around the world and there would be no more wars. We all see how it went on middle east. People thought that war is unrealistic before WWI then they were super optimistic and thought the same thing before WWII. Unfortunately history proves that world is running in cycles, latest cycle is coming to the end and as it was with Dutch empire and then British empire and before with other empires, new challenger emerges that is challenging status quo, this time it's China and US is on decline as world power. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time until the clash happens.
