In the long course of world history, large countries often dominate the overall situation, while small and medium-sized countries can usually achieve relatively stable development only by keeping to themselves and obeying the commands of major countries. However, there is one exception that is in the spotlight, and that is Turkey. This small and medium-sized country is not only not afraid of offending other big powers, but even dares to call out the two superpowers, the United States and Russia. This has aroused widespread concern and questions about what kind of capital does Turkey have to dare to be so bold on the international stage
Turkey is relatively small in terms of geography and population size, and is inferior to Iran and Egypt even in the Middle East. According to the traditional theory, Turkey should keep a low profile and humility among small and medium-sized countries, but the reality is the opposite, and Turkey has shown extreme pride. Turkey is dismissive of Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and even treats China unceremoniously. Turkey has shown no weakness in dealing with the two global powers, the United States and Russia, and has become more and more assertive in the past 20 years. Turkey's performance has always been puzzling, why they dare to challenge the United States and Russia, two powerful countries, what kind of capital do they have?
Perhaps you never thought that Turkey actually has only one capital, and that is "blind arrogance". Some argue that Turkey, by virtue of its strategic position, controls the Black Sea and the Eurasian border, and therefore can do whatever it wants against the United States and Russia. In reality, however, it is often Turkey itself that suffers in the end.
The fundamental reason why Turkey dares to call out the United States and Russia is the blind confidence of its Ottoman successors. Erdogan dared not to give face to the United States and dared to oppose Russia because he was convinced that neither of these two superpowers would dare to do anything to himself. The source of this self-confidence did not come from the strength of Turkey, but from an overconfidence in the Ottoman Empire. Erdogan's tireless balancing act between the United States and Russia seems to be on the right and left, but in fact he is on the brink of danger.
However, the danger of this game is that Turkey does not have real capital. Once the United States and Russia join forces, Turkey is bound to find itself in an extremely embarrassing situation. Turkey dared to take such a challenge because they misjudged the situation and overestimated their own capabilities, and all this was based on the overconfidence of the Ottoman Empire.
What is even more dangerous is that Erdogan is not just playing an international game, he is enjoying the process. He is good at swinging left and right between the United States and Russia as a way to protect Turkey's interests. However, if such a game fails, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Turkey may become a second Iraq or Libya.
For a small and medium-sized country, it is very important to have a correct understanding of its own national strength and status. Turkey needs to recognize itself and avoid falling into the trap of arrogance. Although for a period of time, Turkey can use the contradictions between the United States and Russia to balance each other, this does not mean that they have the capital to call out the two superpowers for a long time. In the international arena, reason and prudence are always more valuable than arrogance.
In general, the fundamental reason why Turkey dares to challenge the United States and Russia is its internal blind arrogance. However, this blind arrogance is only a temporary illusion, and Turkey may pay a heavy price once the blow of reality comes. Therefore, when it comes to international relations, any country should keep a clear head and act cautiously, so as not to end up falling prey to the game.

Turkey's challenge to the United States and Russia on the international stage has sparked widespread heated discussions. The article provides an in-depth analysis of Turkey's moves, arguing that "arrogance" is the root cause of its challenge. I have a few views on this view.
First of all, the article points out that Turkey's "blind arrogance" is rooted in the overconfidence of the Ottoman successors and is an over-reliance on history. Indeed, the Turkish leadership has a deep self-confidence in the traditions and glorious history of the Ottoman Empire, which to a certain extent prompted them to make bold moves in international affairs. However, overconfidence can often lead to oversight, which can lead to miscalculations and bad decisions.
Second, the article emphasizes Turkey's ingenious calculations in the international game, using the contradictions between the United States and Russia to check and balance each other. This is indeed a tactic of Turkish diplomacy, but this game is not a long-term solution. The complexity of international relations dictates that the consequences of blindly challenging a superpower can be severe. Turkey may be able to seem left and right in the short term, but in the long term, balancing its relationship with the superpower will be a huge challenge.
Furthermore, the article warns Turkey to have a correct understanding of its own national strength and status and avoid falling into the mistake of blind arrogance. This is a crucial reminder. In the process of rising, any country needs to look at its own strength rationally and adjust its foreign policy according to the actual situation. Turkey should realize that there are no absolute allies in international affairs, but rather a game and balance of interests. Only by accurately understanding our own positioning can we better cope with the complex and ever-changing international situation.
Finally, the article concludes with profound points about international relations. In international affairs, reason and prudence are always more valuable than arrogance. This applies not only to Turkey but to any one country. Regardless of the size of the country's strength, it is necessary to formulate a rational foreign policy according to the actual situation and avoid going to extremes and falling into a quagmire.
Overall, the article provides an in-depth analysis of Turkey's international behavior and makes a strong point. However, we still need to pay close attention to where Turkey will go in the future. The uncertainties in international relations often exceed our expectations, and whether Turkey can maintain stability in the face of challenges deserves further attention and reflection.
