I really don't know which fleet is biggest I was more thinking in a geopolitical and strategic way

As I know-Mediterranean is almost NATO's own bath tube and Russia have to fight its way through (forgot the name) or take the long way from Murmansk to enter the Mediterranean

If Turkey leave NATO and joined some alliance with Russia and give them permission to place one of their fleets at some harbour that give them directly access to the Mediterranean

So much do I know-if that happens the geopolitical and the strategic situation in the Mediterranean will change.
