HTS is a terrorist organization. However, even the sins of HTS remain light compared to the Wagner terrorist organization, which has killed thousands of civilians, including acts of terrorism and fueling civil war in 6-7 different countries of the world. People are still dying in Tripoli from the traps and mines left by Wagner.
There is no doubt that the Russian propaganda tools have learned very well to instrumentalize this Islamic terrorism. The last time they were in Kazakhstan, so they went to Ukraine from there. After all, this could not be a post-truth method that could only be monopolized by the USA.
Honestly, that's not the part I'm interested in. Because both sides are trying to use their propaganda tools and their powers of persuading societies to the fullest in order to establish an ethical basis for themselves. So understandable.
The interesting detail is: The photo selection of the relevant Russian information unit and even your reason for sharing this tweet, but at the same time, I think most people understand why. Let me make two reminders though: HTS dont uses the Turkish patch on camouflage. The news itself is a typical Russian propaganda and the photograph used is even irrelevant to this propagative claim.
Such a thing would never be allowed. HTS is a terrorist organization according to Turkish law. Many wanted members and managers of this terrorist organization were caught by Turkish law enforcement,
and there is a search and arrest record for others. The reasons why Turkey does not directly fight HTS in Idlib is related to the situation of millions of Syrians pushed to the Hatay border by the Assad regime. These are a separate story, and if anyone wishes, we can discuss these issues in the related thread.
The second reason is Russia's direct protection of the PKK, which threatens Turkey, especially in Tel Rifat and Manbij, north of Aleppo. While Russia protects a terrorist organization that threatens Turkey, it cannot be among Turkey's priorities that it consumes its human and financial resources against another terrorist organization that does not threaten it.
We all know very well why the Russian propaganda tools are so uncomfortable. But if they can rein in their arrogance and understand how Turkey is trying to hold on to a neutral position, they will go a long way. And again, reminder, there are no Turkish drones flying in Ukraine.
In any case, I will report this 'purposed' post and I will follow what the decision will be. If even such low-level psyops are allowed now, I assure the entire pals in advance I will literally flood the thread with similar style.
