Description
If BfB expansion is not active, the Bosporus strait is open for passage for warships and convoys carrying invasion troops. The reason is a neutral Turkey does not care the least bit for what is happening at it's front door. The BfB expansion probably forfeits that but the base game does not.

In effect AI ENG does repeatedly navally invades in Romania and Bulgaria in every campaign. This is not only non-historical, it also isn't any plausible as neutral Turkey did and would not allow any passage for warships intending to cross from the Med to the Black Sea and vice versa.

The vanilla game needs a rule for the Bosporus strait to be closed for nations being at war that are not aligned with Turkey. Alternatively, AI ENG should stop meddling in the Black Sea and the Eastern Front.

Steps to Reproduce
Play a game as any nation except ENG until the war on the Eastern Front is raging for some time.

This also happens with all DLC active I think. In my hungary game yesterday I noticed the Soviet AI naval invading Italy, of all places (and winning) despite having no military access or allies anywhere in the Med....
