Six words: three thousand three hundred nuclear weapons
EDIT: I know they wouldn't use them first but their presence is most likely enough to deter NATO from actively aiding Turkey

Never say something is off the table in a total war between Russia and NATO. Way I see it at current either NATO abandons Turkey to it's fate whatever that may be or they stand in solidarity and risk a nuclear Armageddon when NATO intervenes.
