When you look at the position of turkey on the map... https://pic8.co/sh/myd3rk.gif It's at the crossroad of everything essentially, no wonder it's the rotating plate of heroin trade Same deal for regional alliances/geopolitics The country should have been baptized Turncoat instead Because that's what they have to do pretty much everyday when they aren't the dominant power, while at the same time the global balance of power is unstable For some countries alliances are natural/just common sense, canada will ally with the US and reciprocally, whether they like it or not is irrelevant, geography matters Now for countries at the crossroad of divergent interests... Hm, it's not that simple
