The UK is sending a battalion to Estonia to show solidarity with our NATO allies, and hopefully deter any Russia aggression.
If Russia were to invade Estonia, and Estonia asked for collective defence through NATO, should the UK go to their defence and fight back against the Russians, or is Estonia not worth defending when it actually comes down to it?
Would it make a difference if some of the troops we have in the country were killed by the Russians during the initial invasion? |

I have friends who live there and they are very nervous of Putin/Russia and rightly so.
Putin once said it would take Russia 60 hours to invade the whole of Europe if it wanted to.
And yes we should defend them as they are apart of Nato but its just a token gesture we know that and so doe's he.  |

That's why I asked the two scenarios, people might think we have to respond if British personnel have been killed, but if they haven't maybe we justl out and leave them to it. |

"Out of all the current world leaders, Putin seems to be the only one talking sense. He wants to smash the NWO and the Rothchilds. "
And if he attacks our allies, what should we do? |

Even if the world was run by NWO or the Rothchilds, the only reason Put in would want to smash it is to replace it with his own cronies... |

Surely there are an infinite number of scenario and outcome,,,
Right now this very minute there are 100000 terrified kids trapped in Aleppo .... while much of the world watches the scenarios unfold and waits for an outcome..

That's due to our forces being a shadow of what they used to be. |

Lol - that's called the 'peace dividend'. Guess what? Everyone thought the world was getting safer so large-scale confrontations, a la Cold War, would be unlikely. Hehe.
Anyway, if you think UK forces are shite, the Russians are far worse.

But in answer to the question NATO is predicated on collective defence - an attack on one is an attack on all.
Russia knows that. |

Which is why it is important that Russia believes without any shadow of a doubt that NATO would come to the Baltic States defence. No ifs or buts... |

"putin is the proper world leader, no one has nothing to fear from him. the world needs to back down from bullying russia.
leave the russians to it"
So you think we should leave them to go around annexing other counties? |
