They’re not asking all of NATO for security guarantees, just the US. I think they should look for the “coalition of the willing” to base tripwire forces in Ukraine post-war. That will make a more credible deterrent for Russia than “we promise to help you if Russia attacks”. That credibility is exactly why Russia is against European forces permanently based in Ukraine.
