Besides what @Overbom said about the turmoils in neighbouring Syria, Iraq and Libya, Turkey also poked three of the five nuclear powers. Shot down Russian aircraft, harbouring terrorists from China's Xinjiang including have them trained in Syria, then pissed off the US. I have never seen a country in human history being reckless, daring and untrustworthy to this level.
4 of the 5 nuclear powers. They tried to rally the Muslim world against France after the Samuel Paty beheading incident.
There is a reason why the US threatened Russia that it would face guerrilla warfare.
Unfortunately for the US, Russia has plenty of experience in dealing with such pests. It could also ask for some tips from the pros in PAP if needed
Turkey continues to host Uyghar dissents who spew anti-Chinese CIA propaganda from their territories.

The thing with Turkey is that Erdogan is trying to play all sides - buys military equipment from Russia thus getting on the US nerves, then opposes Russia in Syria disallowing any buildup of goodwill, flip-flops on Xinjiang, the whole Turan thing, etc. As a result, neither the West, Russia nor China really trust Turkey and view them with some level of suspicion. That's not even mentioning the Gulf states and Iran which are also wary of Erdogan's "Ottoman empire" schtick. It seems that his megalomania is creating unnecessary enemies without the economy or military might to back that up.
IMO, the whole Kazakhstan thingy is also a hidden warning for Erdogan that the same can easily happen to him but he won't have any allies to bail him out.

Once PLA nuclear modernization completed and China has established MAD firmly, the americans will be reasonable
