Because as upsetting as it sounds, turkey is key in the middle east and eastern europe... And beyond. Pun intended btw. See here https://poal.co/s/geopolitics/209705 >>A key factor in all this too is NATO’s long-term plans to expand membership of the U.S.-led military alliance in the Caucasus and Central Asia along Russia’s southern periphery.Political analyst Rick Rozoff comments that the flare up in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is fully consistent with Turkey’s years-long agenda of bringing Azerbaijan into NATO membership. He says that Ankara is trying to force a resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute in favor of Azerbaijan whereby the latter reclaims its historic territory from Armenian separatists.For NATO to move forward with absorbing Azerbaijan into the alliance there must be a settlement to the long-running frozen conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The two sides last went to war during 1988-1994 and have had cross-border skirmishes ever since. At the end of last month, the conflict blew up again on account of a recent surge in rhetoric from Azeri leaders and their Turkish patrons about recovering sovereign lands. Look at that map https://pic8.co/sh/FjTwIf.jpeg It speaks for itself, it's the crossroad/rotating plate for everything, heroin trade, pipelines, military bases younameit ... And it's no surprise that turkey's foreign policy went full turncoat; it's literally defined by its geographic position. They buy s400 from the russians while at the same time they are hosting american nukes and providing help to islamic terror proxies, serving the empire and its enemies, sabotaging the empire and its enemies, is both in NATO and hostile to NATO members... What's going to happen is that, at some point, if turkey fails to remain essential on the geopolitical chessboard and becomes to much of a problem for too much of its "partners", a majority of them are going to agree on puling the plug on turkey. Erdolf already dodged a coup not that long ago.
