I find it pretty easy to believe that other countries will continue to funnel money into military operations even if the US slows or stops.

No, I can't prove that. But it seems like a very reasonable belief to have. What reason do you have to believe that it won't be so?

The reason to believe it won't be so is the same reason not all tragedies of the common end in resource exhaustion - cooperation is possible, especially in such an internationally-connected industry as software development.

From a less grassroots perspective, international regulations and sanctions tend to be fairly effective.
