1. Aside from Russian assertions, what evidence is there that Estonia is repressing minorities?
2. Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to how a suspicion of minority repression excludes a NATO member nation from the mutual defense pact that underpins the alliance.

(none at all that i’ve heard of,,, just like no evidence Russia intends to invade Estonia)

(because NATO isn’t meant to protect member nations ability to crush internal dissent that results in someone intervening)
Say for example Turkey clearly started extreme crackdowns on Armenians, and it became very obvious that Armenians there were in grave danger. Armenia invades to safeguard them. Should Turkey be able to claim it was attacked?
Largely this discussion is academic though. Since the Balkans, NATO has been on the side of oppression and radical Islam.
