Whether NATO would actually follow through if Turkey invited it is another matter, some nations probably would, but many I think would just commit a token force.
If Turkey 'directly intervenes' I can see Russia making a lot of political noise but nothing more because NATO and or the US would have no other option than to become physically involved in response to what the west would see as Russian aggression.

My own assessment: still a storm in a tea cup.
