it would be interesting to know how global politics and wars would change if the US were to stop shoveling money to foreign countries.

Much, much more peaceful. Once parties lack the resources for war and have to come to peace, it often takes hold in unexpectedly strong ways

> Much, much more peaceful

The entire history of our species runs counter to this. The most peaceful periods are uni or bipolar dynamic. Pax Americana is statistically meaningful [1].

> Once parties lack the resources for war

Generally speaking, impoverishment increases violence.
