Poland doesn't need the US as much as we might think. There's already quite a bit of firepower right on the Belarus border. They don't want to piss off NATO even without the US.

If it were to take the form of bombardments across the border, that would be another matter, but Belarus is pretty dependent on Russia for armaments, and those aren't in great supply.
As for Belarusian troops, if Lukashenko made any moves as you imagine, I think they'd be quite preoccupied with trying to control their own population.
Lukashenko's hold on power is not cast-iron. I doubt he'd want the complications at this stage, but we'll see.
