Ah, yes! Unrestricted naval warfare is a time tested tactic to pull the U.S. into direct conflict.
Is Russia going to make attacks in NATO member territorial waters? After the Moskva sinking and the retreat from Snake Island they haven’t exhibited any naval power projection in the Black Sea. They don’t have the capabilities to enforce a quarantine/inspection regime against the will of NATO members.
Do they try to get their diesel subs close to Odessa and try to sink grain shipments in Ukrainian waters? Not sure how well obviously fueling food scarcity will sit in the parts of the world unwilling to sanction Russia’s invasion, but otherwise indifferent.
LOL. Russia just destroyed Odessa's port infrastructure. There's nothing to load, and no way to load it. The quarantine was done before you even wrote your post.

They have the unencumbered ability to implement a blockade.
There are limits to numbers and total tonnage that can cross the Bosporus.

Turkey has been adamant and consistent from the signing until now. And in 2022 they closed the strait to all foreign warships.
Russia does not have to have subs close in to the Ukraine in its territorial waters to sink ships since Russia has anti-ship missiles (and shovels).
West goaded this on.
Still going to happy and chill when it goes full nuclear?
