That is a big misunderstanding. Turkish and Arab relationship is like Persian and Arabs. They are all Muslims, but they don't like one another.
Besides, Turkey is at a geo-strategic juncture, in Chinese terminology "四战之地". A hunting ground that everyone want to occupy, therefor a trophy, not a defend-able fortress. In the 2200 years of history of Imperial China, any dynasties centred at this kind of places are short-lived and weak. This kind of place is only suitable for some political entities that is absolutely and overwhelmingly advanced and powerful than its neighbours before anyone else even exists. Nobody can build itself as a power centre in this place by competing with its neighbours on relatively equal footing.
China's first two dynasties Xia and Shang were located in the centre in modern day Henan province when they were absolutely stronger than anybody else. The 3rd dynasty Zhou was established in Wei river valley in the western edge. This continued for the next more than 1000 years. The capital was only moved to the centre (Luoyang) when Xián (in the west) was devastated by rebelling or invasion. Then the centre is moved to Beijing by Kublai's Yuan dynasty and continued to this day.
A good modern example is USA on a continent without any competitor. If the French and subsequently Spanish/Mexico weren't defeated by the British, we would be seeing a modern version of "Three Kingdoms".

America has gone completely unhinged

Welcome to democracy, where some votes are more equal than others.
Who said that Germans don't have humour, this situation is quite funny imo
Germany worrying about losing control of the EU while simultaneously self-destructing under US' death order is peak irony
*Germany paying tough in front of the EU*
"Kids get in line and follow your orders, dont do anything that I haven't said to do, okay. In this place, I, Germany, am the boss here. Got it?"
