I think that neither Turkey, Iran, Syria are happy about this. Nor would Europe be all that happy. Nor the Kurds.
The Islamic State’s caliphate is no more. Four years after its fighters captured large swathes of Iraq and Syria and declared its intention to spread jihad around the world, the terror group no longer holds any territory.
But as one extremist Islamic state falls, another one endures. Over the past few years, a group that was formerly part of Al Qaeda has cemented its power in northern Syria and now rules over some 3 million people.
After forcing out rival rebel groups in Idlib earlier this year, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham(HTS) has imposed its control over all aspects of life in the province. Now, a university with more than 6,000 students has become the battleground between in its quest for dominance.
“They came when we were in the middle of exams and said they would be taking over,” said Ahmad, a student at Aleppo University, which was shut down last week by the HTS-controlled administration in Idlib.
The Saudis, the group Republicans sell arms to, the one who bombed us, Trump and Bush allies; they like the idea of Islamonuts in Idlib. So, we can see that being UnAmerican is a survival skill, not treason. The treason happens in the Swamp.
