My best guess.
"Nothing to see here. There is no such thing as a murder in the name of Islam. I am forcing every American to use electric cars to eliminate the threat of terrorism from global warming."

Turkey would no joke kick their arse.
The Russians lack the combat power for anything other than nuisance attacks - and that is without Turkey calling in NATO help.

Turkey would have to have a lot of help. Russia would defeat them.

Global Warming is our biggest threat....ahhhhh....and the reason for terrorism....is....ahhhhh...Therefore the U.S. has entered a treaty that will....ummmmmmm....essentially neuter America from....aaahhhhh....ever being a Superpower in the.....ummmmmmm....ahhhhh.....= future.
As President I have fundamentally changed America and I am...ahhhhh.....that we...aahhhhh....can see that this....is....uhhhhh....a good thing for our....ahhhhh enemies, weaker allies, and my....ahhhhh friends in the ....uhhhhhh....green energy sector.

No, not really.
In terms of sheer numbers the Russian military is significantly stronger, but in terms of what could be brought to bear in theater Turkey holds all the cards.
There is no common border. To reach Turkey from Russia, any aircraft would have to overfly hostile nations or the Black Sea. Turkish interceptors would operate from their own bases under a SAM umbrella.
Those limitations are even more restrictive when applied to ground forces. No land border and virtually no amphibious capability means Russia simply cannot get to Turkey without also invading other nations.
Finally, there is the naval option. The Black Sea fleet is vastly weaker than the Turkish navy and could also be easily bottled up. If Russia committed their entire fleet, they would have an advantage in naval power but that would be mitigated by the fact that they would be operating under hostile skies with little air support and very limited resupply.
No, short of using nukes there is no map at all that would lead to a Russian victory. At most Putin could launch cruise missile strikes but these can be intercepted and he has a limited supply.
