    only if it spills back into NATO territory and the corresponding member state requests aid.

    Which without a shadow of a doubt would happen. That’s what I’m getting at

    It’s the same thing as when not many nations followed the Yanks on their Middle Eastern adventures.

    You mean NONE of the times?

      Not necessarily. Russians attacking Poland in response to a limited French deployment would cross an actual red line, that would force every NATO nation, even Hungary, even the US, to intervene directly.

      It would turn the logic of the war around, with Russia being the country being struck from places they can’t retaliate at.

      I mean they are not obligated to. Look at Yemen. Do you see Finnish and Polish forces there? If NATO was involved, you would.
