HTS are a bunch of brainless scumbags like ISIS. They have the same tendencies of khawarij. When alnusra was doing really good in the early days and became popular that donkey leader of theirs julani gave his allegiance to al qaida publically so that the enemies could find an excuse to attack Muslim with impunity. This donkey if he had any brains should've known that the defeated alqaida is a punching bag for everybody including media, dictators, and the world at large. These donkeys have no long term strategies or visions and dont care about consequences to other muslim, they only care about narrow twisted interpretations. When Turkey made a deal about the deescalation zone they should've just disbanded HTS and pretended to have laid down their weapons and joined other groups. Their ego is too big like ISIS. Isis allowed enemies to take vast territories and helped Assad to sway world opinion away from him despite committing genocide.
HTS and ISIS are just tools for the enemies of Islam.
well, even if Al Nusra didn't pledge allegiance to AQ, they would have been chased off and hunted down by the enemies of Islam, the proof is Taliban, they still are bombarded by the US even though they promised not to let AQ operate in their territory, my point is that the enemies of Islam never run out of excuses, they will always find a reason, be it fighting terror or WMD . Hamas won the elections, that didn't stop them from besieging Gaza and calling them terrorists ....
Anyways, I am not going to defend HTS for their AQ choises, but they eventually separated themselves from AQ didn't they ?!, if anything it shows that they are reasonable and realistic, they want to establish an Islamic Emirate in Sham. ( which will indisputably be established whether by them or by other muslims)
if u r talking about deescalation zone, its Turkey's fault not to attack earlier in the conflict when Assadists were collapsing, and about the world opinion, it simply doesn't matter , by now, u should have realized the world doesn't accept anything but brute force.
HTS ultimately are righteous because they do not kill Muslims, they only fight kuffars and Khawarij of ISIS and the Bandits and Fuel thieves .
Again,Turks should be honest with themselves , if they agree with Russians , they should start fighting HTS, there are only 20000 of them and they have no escape, free the world from another world 'terrorist' organization thank you .
