Poland's military is in much better shape than Ukraine's but it's not really about whether they can win or not but it's more about them being an EU and NATO member, basically, the response from the west would be far tougher on Russia than we are seeing already in Ukraine and if it wasn't, it would do a lot of damage to the credibility of both the EU and NATO which both have articles about protecting the members of each organization.
In other words, it would be a lot riskier for Russia to take on an EU or NATO country, especially considering that Poland is a lot richer than Ukraine.
Putin is already getting his arse handed to him in Ukraine and Ukraine is a much weaker country whiles also not being an EU and NATO member, in other words, Putin only wanted to take on an easy target which he thought Ukraine was but he didn't expect the western response to be so tough.
On another note, if Putin did invade another country, the west might have to get involved more directly because where does it end?, sometimes you have to put your foot down and put these loons back in their place where they belong.
