🇺🇸🇸🇾 - US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard calls out HTS jihadists; openly saying Syria is under the control of an Al Qaeda affiliate.
The HTS rebrand will not last long. So far, the Trump administration, Israel, Iran, and to a lesser extent the Shiite-led Iraqi government, despite having different agendas are all major opponents of the HTS regime. The SDF and other non-state actors also pose threat to HTS as do many within its ranks. An Islamic State resurgence is immanent.
HTS only has Turkey Russia and Saudi to fall back on. Saudi is not a reliable ally. As for Turkey its economy is frankly in the gutter and its project will not last long.

Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open.
