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

    Edit: Lol, downvote me all you want, doesn’t change that the US chose the socialist YPG/PKK as their ally. Tbf though, their main ideology is ethnic nationalism, socialism for them is nowadays more a tool to fool some naive westerners.

    Edit 2: I am a socialists myself. Still doesn’t change facts.

        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
