    The US is actually backing socialists and even communists in Syria. HTS is mostly on its own. The US supports Assad over HTS.

      You can’t be serious. It has been common knowledge for almost a decade now that the US trained and funded all these “rebels”. There is even those emails leaks where the US secretary of state says that “AQ is on our side in Syria”. The US has spent billions funding all these terrorists.

        Oh my, two mistakes in one sentence… HTS is not active in the south and Turkey supports the SNA (FSA) which is at times cooperating with HTS, but is at odds with them at the same time. The tentions just flared up today again and let to a lot of bloodshet between SNA and HTS in the last. Turkey did occasionally protect the HTS to a degree against Assads agressions (to prevent Assad from gaining ground), but also tried to get rid of them.

        The US supports neither the SNA, nor HTS, but supports the YPG in the north and a mercenary troop in the south that acts like they were FSA, not HTS.

        You know literally nothing about the conflict. Stop writing about it
