Other countries have different priorities with their budgets. Many would rather spend money on social programs than on defense. That's an easy choice for most of them because they know we're there to pick up their slack. Most of their military forces have became so antiquated that they'd have to spend billions to effectively operate with our military forces. The UK is one of the few countries whose military is up to snuff.
In the meantime, if Canada comes to the US to airlift troops and equipmentl somewhere, we'll just say no. Other countries have had to rely on our airlift capacity in the past. I guess they think it's cheaper to use our transport planes than to buy their own. Well, our airlift capacity is stretched fairly thin right now and likely will be for some time to come.
