They think that the Russians will magically stop being decimated in Ukraine in 2025, invade Turkey, conquer Istanbul and hand it over to greece out of goodwill or something.
If jolani wants to build a proper state he will have to cooperate with Syrias most important neighbour, both economically and militarily. I dont see how peddling to pkk demands whilst throwing relations with Turkey under the bus is a logical choice of action. And he also cant play the refugee...
at the end of the day HTS are still Sunni Jihadists. They reject minority alawite rule over an majority sunni arab population, why would they tolerate minority kurdish rule over sunni arab lands? Or the natural resources underneath said soil?

I don't even know what side Turkey can be considered on when we don't even lift a finger. Regardless of how one tries to spin in, there isn't a single possible outcome that will benefit Turkish interests if there are no actions taken this very moment. Erdogan has been yapping about his buffer...
