Even though I back Greece and Taiwan more for ideological reasons, I'd concede that its possible for the side I pick to overplay their hand and lose. If Turkey and China win in conflict, I can't begrudge that if it was their own accomplishment. The whole purpose of war is usually to settle which side is more right in a dispute. A weak country in my view, should defer to a stronger country if it knows they're weak. At least in the absence of securing an alliance that'll actually support them.
Not all alliances are created equal I'd say, some are useless such as Italy refusing to back the Triple Alliance as they were supposed to when WW1 began. While other alliances are rock solid such as the Soviet Union and China sending weapons to North Vietnam to indirectly defeat the US- which more or less was acheived.
