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.
