It doesn't make a bit of difference who gave what! If every country
provided a tank division, it would not be enough. If every country
just raised a hand in support, it would not be enough!

Jim used the phrase "public commitment." To me, that makes the action
more than "unilateral" and qualifies them to be on the list.

If you make a comment, and I support it by saying, "I agree," then
your comment is no longer unilateral.

Now I get it. Contributing nothing is enough to make the list. Why didn't
you just say that in the first place?

France, Germany, and Russia contributed nothing. The countries on the
list raised their hands and concurred. If each of them had given a
division, I believe your attitude would still be the same. Then you
could have said, "We put a corps there, how come no one else did?"
