To be fair, Ukraine is technically not part of NATO, but I really can't imagine that the level of support would be significantly different if an actual NATO member was under attack.

I imagine actual NATO members are wondering the same thing, which doesn't bode well for NATO.

They'll start demanding more money from the member states and trying to increase membership. They're already putting pressure on the Irish government to drop our "neutrality".

The most bonkers part being how ambivilent everyone seems to be about it. Not that we were ever actually neutral, but still.

Bonkers as in you expected more people to oppose it, or that you thought more people would support it?

I expected more to oppose it. But I mean, my expectations for people having even the most basic political acumen gets lower and lower every day.

Indeed, and the fact that US is basically the only member of NATO with a serious military must be increasingly concerning for Europe now. If US gets bored of Europe and decides to pivot to China or the Middle East, then European NATO members are going to be in a very difficult position.

Where do I go in 15 years when my kids are drafted to fight for the noble polish invasion of Kaliningrad?

Pray that they remembered what you taught them about how to get away with fragging their officers.
