Nor does Turkey exercise any degree of control or leverage over Saudi Arabia and it and the Anglosphere's royal Gulf poodles who are far more influential on the economic side of things and exercise a great degree of soft power through the funding of targeted mosques/education centres and Sunni religious institutions which undermine Russian interests in the Balkans (as in former Yugoslav lands) and domestically (Chechnya/Dagestan/Ingushetia).
Still, as Typhoon says, it's somewhat irrelevant to me which direction Turkey chose to go in post any hypothetical split with the North Atlantic leadership. Ankara's departure from the military wing and means through which international finance imposes itself upon the real community of nations it does anything but represent or aid would be more than most welcome - It would be a tremendous coup.
The further NATO can be whittled down, hopefully using the same rotten tactics they favor such as manipulation of internal divisions by outside powers (Russia being a perfect example), the quicker we can get away from the post-45 and subsequently the post-91 world order, and the brighter the future for NATO's core countries, particularly those in Europe, who are languishing under occupation by regimes created and designed to serve the private masters and architects of the NATO alliance.
It is as much a loaded pistol to hem them in, Germany and the "old" core in particular, as it is for destroying nations which have actually done well standing on their own two feet in exclusion from if not opposition to the imperial would-be universal global system, from Serbia to Libya.
