I’d personally prefer they instead announce massive investment in defence industry capability, starting pdq.
NATO has acknowledged it wouldn’t have enough shells to fight Russia or to fight China in a grinding frontal conflict like Russia-Ukraine, which is plenty enough reason to restock quickly. That’s assuming there’s no need to give millions of shells to other countries being invaded by a NATO adversary (I.e., Moldova after Ukraine, a near certainty bless ‘em; or Israel fighting Iran and friends; or Taiwan, if China starts massing invasion forces in Fujian).
Like NATO’s materiel reinforcements to Ukraine, NATO’s own 2025 and 2028 target dates for new stockpiles are already running the risk of being too little, too late. We do have F35s, MANPADs and HIMARs though.

It's madness that any civilised government is putting up with it. Nato should declare war on Russia tonight. Otherwise there's no point having Nato. Just disband it and admit that it means nothing.
