Eh, Russia isn't going to do anything about it. Turkey's NATO.

Honest to goodness I support Turkey's actions. Russia is bombing non-ISIS Syrian rebels who are fighting Assad. Assad's a bit of a flaming douchebag, to say the least.

Not only is Turkey in NATO, Turkey can also completely cut-off the Black Sea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Convention_Regarding_the_Regime_of_the_Straits#Development_of_the_Convention_since_1936

"In April 1982, the Convention was amended to allow Turkey to close the Straits at its discretion in peacetime as well as during wartime."
