    If Ukraine OK with it, what’s the problem, it’s over Ukraine airspace after all.

        Russia gets mad enough that it fires missiles at Poland.

        Poland is a NATO member. If they attacked Poland, it’s game over for Russia. NATO, mostly the US really, would curbstomp them so hard.

            If a NATO member is attacked the other members are treaty bound to come to its defense.

            And there’s no superiority complex about it. Russia’s military is a joke compared to the US military. The US Air Force and Navy could flatten Russia without having a single boot on the ground if the US was forced into a confrontation with it.

      The question is how far Poland can intervene before Russians up their intervention in Poland.

      There’s a stark split in Polish politics over whether they should be involved in this fight at all (and some significant pro-Russian sentiment in Poland disputing which side they should even be on). Escalating means increasing tensions at home and potentially inviting a political backlash for the Duda administration.
