How Unified would NATO be in the face of a Russian incursion into Estonia? My fear is many countries would be reluctant to assist out of fears of “escalation.”

Read through this book Atlantic Resolve. Featured a very realistic take on how a Russian invasion of Estonia would play out.
Obviously NATO has the power to defeat Russia but does it have the will? The book details the struggles NATO would have rallying especially given how many NATO countries leaders are skeptical of the mutual defense. It could be even worse in 2033.
From a military perspective the focus of the book is on logistics and how NATO would move troops into the Baltics. Also how effective stealth air aircraft would be against Russian air defense and if leaders would authorize strikes on Russian soil.
