What I was expecting to see was a guarantee that they would be joining the war with their own militaries. Since they are not then this is just more of the same and amounts to posturing imo.
It’s not posturing. It’s a commitment to increase defense spending which will then be used as excuse to impose austerity and budget cuts this year (“it’s the Russians, not your own capitalists who are doing this to you”), and preparing the countries for shock therapy in the very near future. Everything is going exactly as planned.
