How significant is the recent escalation between NATO and Russia?

NATO is now allowing the use of American and British missiles in Russian territory. In September, Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer decided, after discussions, not to allow this. We can assume the reason is wanting to avoid escalation. Putin issued a very clear warning and they appeared to listen.

What has changed since then? It has only been two months. Russia continues to do well, which is not a change as Russian military has been doing well for over a year. Why is Biden, before he leaves office, allowing Ukraine to use these missiles? He knows what the potential consequences are. Starmer also knows what the consequences are. The deep state know the consequences. This can only be a way to try to sabotage Trump's presidency.

Do you think this escalation is significant? What do you think will happen?

It doesn't make much sense except like you said to sabotage Trump. Doesn't make much sense militarily either as Russia could give them an almighty ass whopping with their airforce in response if they so wished. And the West wouldn't intervene.
@Oceanfire Actually, Russia recently stepped up their missile attacks on Ukraine. Biden gave Ukraine a way to incentivize Russia to back off on those attacks.
