This is going to break US relations with the very rebels we funded to success in Syria. No way do they take a massive loss of territory lying down, which means they’ll get into conflict with Isreal, which means they’ll get on America’s shit list, which means they’ll go to Russia in search of allies, and we’re gonna be right back to where we were at (from a regional strategic perspective) when the whole fucking war started - only this time instead of a baathist dictator they’ll have a salafi one.
I guess that’s the theme for America’s interventions in the middle east. Decades of death and destruction only for things to go right back to how they were.
Syria’s de-facto new ruler has broken his silence on the Israeli regime’s ongoing assaults on the Arab nation since President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, saying that Damascus “will not engage” in a conflict with Tel Aviv.
“We are not about to engage in a conflict with Israel,” Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmed al-Sharaa said on Syrian TV on Saturday, citing the country’s “weakened state” as the reason.
It’s already very clear that HTS listens to what the US tells them.

I didn’t know about that statement… but we’ll see how long it lasts.
