Shifting Alliances: Turkey's Political Landscape and NATO

Recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Turkey signify a significant shift in the country's political landscape, suggesting possible internal manipulations by political groups aiming to destabilize the current government. This reflects a complex political environment characterized by intricate power dynamics, often described as a 'deep state.' The occurrence of such attacks, previously unthinkable, indicates a notable departure from Turkey's past political norms. While it is unlikely that Turkey will exit NATO under its current leadership, there is a clear trend of Turkey gravitating towards Eurasian alliances, marking a move away from Western affiliations that no longer align with its geopolitical aspirations.
