That’s moving the goalposts.
The fact that they are doing this because they don’t trust the US to honor its commitments is a very different proposition from “maybe it’s for the best”.
And if you’re familiar with world war 1 and 2, you might doubt that significant increase in domestic military production is a wholly good thing.
But point stands: it’s an example of formerly-strong alliance that is no longer trusted.
