I think it's them being ordered to do things by NATO or the West.
Shhh, there is no NATO, (waves hands)… ooonnnly Turkeeeey.
But even still, some of these countries like Turkey, while having the West on their side, will get flattened in a serious regional or global war by someone like Russia.
The Turks made their own bed, now they can lie in it.
The US military aren't going to protect any but their own assets there. Turkeys got the Russians, the Kurds and the Syrians all pissed at them now, all because they bedded with the West.
Even if the West stays in alliance with them, such countries will got stomped on in the process of a more serious conflict. Maybe they only join such alliances because they think the deterrent is greater protection than them solo.

Considering NATO is a defensive alliance its a good bet its a deterrent. Something Putin has commented on -

Tell that to the pro russians who think putin is an angel who cant do any wrong while advocating war, including nukes, because in their world fallout doesn't cross borders.
