I don't see it happening. Estonia is part of NATO. If Russia sets one boot in Estonia, Article 5 will be invoked and Russia will be at War with all NATO countries. Article 5 states that an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all NATO countries. This was invoked after September 11, 2001.

I'm sure the Russians are poking to see if NATO has any balls anymore. Buildup troops and see what they do. But I don't don't see Russia entering Estonia.

If they do, either we're on for another European war, or NATO is dissolved because it is useless.
