They most certainly are. Russia just caused the death of two Polish citizens. Poland currently could invoke Article 4. Up until now, NATO's involvement in the Russo-Ukraine war has been incredibly small. It's mostly been Ukrainians using the weaponry from the back of NATO's closet. Imagine if instead you had NATO bombers taking out the artillery that caused this and targeting Russian positions. That threat is how NATO can tell Russia how to conduct its invasion. And it's no fault but Russia's for being so incredibly reckless.

No, according to latest information available, Ukraine caused death of two Polish citizens. However, let's say it was Russia. You expect NATO is insane enough to rush into a nuclear holocaust over that, and you seriously think Russia would fight a direct war with NATO the same way they fight against Ukraine?

What's been incredibly reckless was NATO escalating tensions since the collapse of USSR that got us where we are today. Only a simpleton would ignore this and place blame entirely on Russia.
