"would" doesn't he mean "will?" Guy thinks that there is something they could do that they haven't done yet. Guy thinks that Nato equipment and training hasn't proven to be completely ineffectual. Guy thinks that they can just buy their lost credibility back when the biggest issue with nato is that they have a fundamental flaw in the disparity between the use value of their military and the exchange value.
Russia isn't winning because its tech is "so" much better or because it has "so" many more men. It is winning because everything they are using costs 1/10th of what it costs nato. The only reason the war wasn't over after a month is because Russia going up against 30% of the worlds GDP when they fight nato.
What the west is paying for with that extra 90% cost is a bunch of leaches and middle managers. Some of them are second guessing every move nato is doing which gums up the works and makes things inefficient. The only way nato could fix its reputation is to first fix these systemic issues.
The only way to fix things so they can compete is to nationalize the weapons manufactures to cut out the profiteers, a crime against capitalism. Of course this is impossible because nato is not 1 nation. So they all squabble about who gets to be the one to profit and who is the one to pay.
