Poles have been chomping at the bit for decades to get some payback on Russia. I think the big fight is going to be trying to convince them not to retaliate (especially by just jumping into the Ukraine conflict with troops).

One point that cannot be over-emphasized, from the viewpoint of Poland.

A Russian missile did not just land in some empty field in Poland. It killed two Polish citizens ON POLISH SOIL.

I agree. NATO is going to have to let them do something in return. It will just come down to what.

I could see some sort of denial of access or electronic interference with Kaliningrad.

Exactly. Don't think Lithuania, Estonia, etc. aren't also looking at this in a similar light.

The only way out of this really flaring up is for Putin to come out within the next few hours and do as heartfelt a mea culpa as he can muster. If he just shrugs and effectively says "meh", I think that infuriates the Poles and maybe a couple of others to join Ukraine.

At that point, the wheels come off the wagon and we get WW3.
