If France goes to war, that does not drag in NATO. If French forces go 1812 and conduct attacks inside Russia and the Russkis blow up the Eiffel Tower, that is still just France Vs Russia... not NATO.
Nato is not a suicide pact where Estonia can attack someone and everyone else has to join in.

Worse than that, if a Deep State against the orders of its own government, engineers an attack against it, the NATO treaty still applies.
“”””Nato is not a suicide pact where Estonia can attack someone and everyone else has to join in.””””
Exactly, it is a defensive alliance.
