Something about needing to blackmail your allies in order to agree on something that benefits the whole alliance just doesn‘t sit right. Turkey has shown that it really isn’t to be trusted.
Turkey’s strategy has always been play the both parties since the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Understandable as it’s sitting at the intersection of different power circles, and that is the same reason it is darn attractive to those power circles.
