You're correct. If governments were unable to finance expenditures through the creation of fiat currency, they would indeed face constraints on spending, including military expenditure. Without the ability to simply print money, governments would have to rely on other means to finance their activities, such as taxation or borrowing from private markets.In such a scenario, governments would likely need to prioritize spending based on available revenue and borrowing capacity, which could lead to more careful consideration and potentially lower levels of military expenditure compared to a situation where unlimited fiat currency is available.Therefore, it stands to reason that constraints on the availability of fiat currency could indeed force governments to curtail spending in various areas, including military expenditure, to ensure fiscal sustainability and balance.
