8. What will happen is the US will become too saddled with debt to even bother maintaining garrisons.
There will be a movement of forces back into the United States if the US continues with its massive borrowing. Military outposts around the globe will either have to be abandoned or scaled back.

It would probably be the largest movement of troops and equipment since the end of the last world war.
