We contribute more to NATO yearly than the total of all of Europe does to their military, or a combination of China and Russia. We're the biggest spenders on the planet by a large margin. That's why the world revolves around us, because everyone who doesn't revolve around us doesn't catch the stray wealth.
Some people would argue that's not true, but there's really no point in arguing over it when the world does nothing but make idle promises to detach from America and then continue circling and begging for scraps while their political cycles and news stations all revolve around America 24/7.
