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

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.
