Since he started work as NATO secretary-general almost two years ago, Mark Rutte has spent much of his time trying to keep the United States anchored to the world’s biggest military alliance.
So, apparently you are actually correct, although the change in posture is much more recent than you think. As in, within the last few weeks to months.
I will not be saying more on this because I’ll get people in trouble if I do.
I have no idea if that is the official policy, in any case official policy lags far after ideas come around. After Russia failed to take Ukraine in 3 days, you can rest assured discussions started pretty quickly about holding on to the Baltics. Nothing top secret about that, you can just think it through.

That’s OK. I do.
Like I said, you’re right, though the change was recent enough that I hadn’t been aware of it until I double checked.
You’re wrong about the reasons why the posture changed, but I really can’t get into that.
