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.

Maybe.

NATO obviously doesn't want to get involved so it's quite likely they will do jack shit if just a couple of missiles hit Poland.

People here always have such a weird superiority complex when it comes to NATO. Yes NATO would likely win in the end but LOTS of people would die in the process.

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.
