I think they may guess, not without reason, that the US would be involved anyway, and want more of the American opinion on their side. Makes sense?

I only hope American's don't get too generous and try to bring democracy to Türkiye. You know, American flavored democracy with marines and smart bombs.

I think a lot depends on Turkey here. Quite a lot, indeed.
