#2 No meter until someone who knows informs us that it is true, Grom, or what the truth is. I have assumed the HTS government will absorb both Turkey’s Syrian National Army and the ISIS prisoners in the SDF camps, with outcomes exactly like this. But predictions are easy, and I lack the ability to prove anything, either pro or con.

#4 I'm sure some sharp eyed individual can identify the weapons the Syrian psycho's are carrying.

#5 These are not the ISIS or HTS or Al Qaeda that you're looking for. New group, old name, we shall call these murdering islamists Bedouin. Not AQ, HTS, or ISIS. But this time, Bedouin.

Looks like a duck.
Smells like a duck.
Quack likes a duck.
A name is but a name...

I would not put money down that these folks are simply aggrieved sheep herders and would bet that whatever banner they march under, it all leads back to the dogma of Ayman al Zawahiri which is not compatible with Western Civilization.

#6 Surprised? Clearly not, Grom.

mossomo, you give us the higher truth, indeed.

RJ45ACP, are you tactfully hinting they might be carrying American weapons given by us to the “anti-Assad” groups we trained during and after the Arab Spring years (2011 ff.)?
