Not to get all alarmist, but Turkey being expelled from or voluntarily leaving NATO might embolden the Russians to attempt some more territorial expansion in the Black Sea littoral. The two nations have already clashed above Syria, and there've been some nervy moments at sea. Since Turkey was/is a NATO country, Russia I'm sure has been hesitant to provoke a direct military confrontation with the Turks. If/when the threat of NATO intervention is gone, all bets are off. This is a worst case scenario, of course, but wars, even world wars, have started over less.
