    ‘Look, we rebranded Al Qaeda and ISIS into HTS and some other factions and we call them moderate rebels now… Also we send them weapons and give them training. And they openly say they heckin’ love Israel and America and are allied with them. If you dont support them you are a tankie!’

      HTS is more aligned to Turkey than the US. The SDF keeps the ISIS chaps locked up in Hasakah with overwatch from US hellfire missiles.

      The YPJ and the YPG are the terrorists that the US supports.

        Turkey is aligned with the US. They are in NATO.

        You can’t sell me on Turkey thinking Al Qaeda is a superior neighbor to Assad.
