It very much glosses over Turkey's own history of (Greek, Armenian) genocide and the very real differences in religious and other liberties between Turkey and the U.S.

Short answer: in both places, the military-industrial complex dictates the "reality" it's acceptable to perceive, and all decisions flow from that.
