Your strategic analysis has also a merit but hidden agendas of both Russia and Turkey are of essence and present the real threats to the Western world and should be faced like that, early enough before they bring us to an unnecary regional war with unknown results.
Turkey is a major threat to the Western Civilization much worst and imminent than Russia which might be better handled as is a Christian Country and has many same values like we do. The major problem is Turkey which is playing in many tables simultaneously and has started to invest in provocations and mafia ways of protection of Muslim countries to expand. Does not follow the International Law and is not going to do this. Germany has invested a lot in Turkey having their many thousands of German manufacturing with cheap labor similar to China. Turkey has been openly threaten everybody and follows all her threats. When we press her she goes to Russia China and Iran when we don't she holds on them and on us but in the same time plays the game of Russia to create problems to NATO and EU and US. Never think that this is Erdogan because Erdogan follows the book of Davudoglu. Also is creating another kind of NATO with smaller Turkish kind of Countries where sells arms and protection. When they are together they are a Major threat to all of us. Now they move on extreme Islam and Chaliphate if we stop Erdogan the kemalists have similar agenda with Panturkism.
We need to understand that Turkey will never be a friend but a threat to us. The sooner we get it the better will be for us.
Russia has the hidden agenda for the warm waters since long ago but we may regulate this through channels of the Aegean Sea. During the USSR I have been shadowing their fleets from Dardanielles to the open seas all the ways through and I know them. They just want to be regarded with respect and then can be treated accordingly and even become an Ally. Germany is doing that with the north stream and joint ventures since the USSR.
We need to have the full picture to understand and know the dynamics otherwise it is just theory and nothing real.
