For the uk to match the military spending of the US it would have to divert all spending from education, pensions, healthcare. Interesting theory a country can be a military superpower or have a welfare state. I know what the voters would prefer. Factually untrue. The military is only 16% of the US government total spending. The rest is mainly social spending. The US has both a massive military and a gargantuan welfare state. I did a quick search in google and found this item ... Mind you the Guardian in Nov 2015 suggested ... America’s ‘welfare state’ is shameful: the UK shouldn’t follow our lead ...Not that I endorse any of this of course.

So sooner or later they will have to stop spending $600 billion a year on their military. Which will slowly result in the US no longer being the worlds military super power. That leaves Chinas military to take over from the US ? Then there is a domino effect and communism takes over the world  Ha, Communism already has taken over. And so effective has the take over been, that most people don't even realize the system they are living under!
