Enjoy that, I suppose. NATO nations enjoy a high level of peace and protection from the threats of nuclear war thanks to Americans footing the bill for their defense. We are largely happy to do it, but I think you’ll see a growing “ok, have fun without us” conversation with countries that aren’t realistic about America’s contributions. If we don’t spend spend spend to have the military resources to provide other countries, Ukraine would have likely fallen some time ago. Many more people would be dead.
What I think you don’t realize is that most normal Americans aren’t interested in providing military protection to countries that don’t want it. I’d suspect whatever country you’re in realizes that, and is willing to accept whatever pressure from the Americans in exchange for the support of the world’s largest military.
