Not saying it would happen, but just curious... If Russia were to attack Estonia, would you be in support of US intervention? Question meant in good faith, just want to know where people stand on the idea.

Lithuania for a direct path from Belarus to Kaliningrad.

No, stop buying into the cold war era image of the (former) Soviet Union as the big bad boogie man that leftists want you to think

Well one attack already happened that was an act of war, but it was the US destroying its vassals pipeline in Europe
Any commercial diver working in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Nigeria, Brazil, etc... for oil and gas could have done it. Though the two lines were pressurized, no gas was flowing due Russians didn't dehydrate the gas in the field and the hydrates which formed crashed the compressors. Only a far lefty made shite up in an article which the clueless bought.

No. They are bogged down with ukraine. Couldn't take us let alone us with even Poland sans nukes

Putin can’t even figure out how to save face with this invasion. Those drones are a game changer and Russia has lost over 300,000 soldiers. Hat’s off to Ukraine for standing their ground against those red sons of bitches.

Why do you think the Russians would attack Israel?

he's probably alluding to the Magog Invasion of Ezekiel 38-39

At a minimum, I'd be in favor of providing logistical, air, naval, missile, intelligence, and other indirect support. Actually operating the platforms ourselves to the fullest extent of our capabilities, not providing generation-old tech and training officers and NCO's hundreds of miles and three countries away from the front.
Let the Eastern and Baltic NATO countries take the lead on the ground. They wouldn't have much of a problem with American air and naval power providing support.
For the record I don't think Russia has any plans whatsoever to take on a NATO country any time in the near future. Forget what you think of their performance in Ukraine:
Their geopolitical axis has fallen apart around them while they've been bogged down expending an enormous amount of military resources, money, and political capital in Ukraine.
Europe
The country with which it shares the longest border in Europe joined NATO and abandoned a long-standing neutrality policy as a direct result of the invasion. The remaining Scandinavian holdout (who also happens to be less than 100 miles from Russia's border) finally joined NATO, and the Baltic is completely choked out for Russian access in the event of a NATO conflict. They also betrayed a highly embittered Armenia in 2023.
Middle East
Of its three strongest allies in the Middle East (including probably what was its closest ally anywhere in the world outside Europe), one fell and is in exile in Moscow (Syria), one is teetering on the brink (Iran), and one is hopeless crushed for at least a generation (Hamas).
Latin America
Its closest Latin American ally was just decapitated in a 2 1/2 hour raid.
Etc. etc.
Most if not all of that would not have happened if they hadn't had invaded then been bogged down in Ukraine. They are inarguably in a much, much worse strategic position than they were in 2021.

This guy is a complete joke who has embarrassed himself for years in the pinned Nato vs Ukraine thread by daily using ISW a known propaganda rag as gospel. Furthermore all leftists i know pretend Biden didn't blow up the pipeline, even though Biden heavily hinted he would in a prior press conference, because they love Ukraine and don't want to implicate their party in one of the biggest environmental disasters ever. So while it's a joke of a narrative to bring forth its completely predictable by this clown.

The only way the moronic porn fantasy of Russia attacking nato could occur is if the US was engaged in a full scale war with China.
Aside from nukes, Russia is the poster child of a paper tiger.
Inept in almost all aspects of warfare, and unable to improvise.
The "red dawn" fantasy is just that.
The biggest casualty of the ukraine conflict was the mythology surrounding the Russian military.

No. They can’t pull it off anytime soon unless it involves just launching a few drones.

When the US eventually pulls out, I can see it happening

A 2025 United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) study found that up to ~485,000 tonnes of methane may have been released into the atmosphere — making this one of the largest single human-caused methane emission events ever recorded. Over a short period, this had a climate impact comparable to the yearly emissions of millions of cars. ?
UNEP - UN Environment Programme
Earlier national estimates placed the climate impact at an amount of CO2-equivalent emissions comparable to a significant fraction of Denmark’s annual emissions (roughly one-third, by some estimates). ?

?? Why methane matters: Although methane stays in the atmosphere for a shorter time than CO2, it is many times more effective at trapping heat in the near term — dramatically boosting short-term warming. ?
