Not supporting ISIS

Ah yes, I forgot that Syria outside of the SDF's control is just Assad and ISIS and nobody else. Totally slipped my mind that it's not pockets of ISIS control in the southeast opening up in the power vacuum created by Assad tripping over his own dick to rush troops back to Damascus; it's that actually, all the miscellaneous rebel groups that are routing the wildly incompetent SAA are just ISIS acting as American proxies. That sure clears things up. Damn, I understand why tankies are coping so hard now; too bad Mr. Sarin Gas himself is going to be executed or (unlikely best case for him) in exile within a couple weeks then. :(

'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.
