If it wasn't in NATO or the EU, Russia would've already invaded by now, that's obvious enough.

But they are in NATO and the EU, so they appear to be safe. Russia invading Estonia would give the US and other NATO powers effective free license to start hurling missiles themselves (instead of just handing them to Ukraine).

that's like saying "don't worry if the defender breaks your leg because the ref will call a foul"

I don't see how the US entering the war would be equivalent at all. Russia's army can't even handle Ukraine's army after they've been hastily handed a bunch of random Western equipment, the US would zero issue manhandling the Russia military.

Saddam's invasion of Kuwait still sucked for the people in Kuwait

Don't get me wrong though, I have a high opinion of Estonia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_Genome_Project

There's already NATO troops in Estonia, the US has a bunch of troops relatively nearby in Poland, and when Russia invaded Ukraine recently, the US knew months ahead of time. Given that the US is in a military alliance with Estonia, Russia won't dare invade in the first place.
