HTS will impose strict Sharia law and will punish those guilty of heresy
No it will not a large part of HTS are former Free Syrian Army (FSA) a big-tent coalition of decentralized Syrian opposition rebel groups founded on 29 July 2011 by Colonel Riad al-Asaad and six officers who defected from the Syrian Armed Forces. The officers announced that the immediate priority of the Free Syrian Army was to safeguard the lives of all protestors and all civilians from the deadly crackdown by Bashar al-Assad's security apparatus. This is the moderator in HTS. A majority of the FSA militias are currently under the command of the Syrian Interim Government; while the rest have either allied with the Syrian Salvation Government, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, or are in the Al-Tanf Deconfliction Zone.

It's not so much what we believe or where we stand. No it is a matter of time-Time will tell us if Syria become a Sharia lead country or a country more or less free-Like Morocco

Oh boi you are wrong it has everything to do what we think of, act on in Syria this country is so important for the region the whole existence of Israel is depended on this and the state of war/peace of the Middle East is at stake here. Why do you think Ukraine send drone operators with hundred of drones to HTS, why is Israel destroying the Syrian army, why is the US in Syria? If they can stabilize Syria, it means the region can stabilize.

I do not disagree what you just wrote I meant that we ordinary can only wait and see how Syria develop into what may come.

A stable Syria would mean a lot for the region.

Edit
Until the day Iran get their first nuke-Then the region would turn into an unstable region again.
End edit

A larger number of Russian transport aircraft can now be seen at Khmeimim. The S-400 battery is packing up for transport. While tactical aviation is still there, Russian Forces appears to be consolidating at Khmeimim and Tartus. In short, a withdrawal is under way. Now it's clear that even if some temporary Russian presence in Syria was agreed upon, it will be a skeleton crew at best. Images captured by Maxar and Planet Labs reveal an increase in ground vehicles at the Hmeimim air base, the arrival of several large transport aircraft and the disassembly of Russian helicopters and air defences — all factors consistent with forces gathering there to depart. The Maxar imagery of Hmeimim captured two An-124 aircraft on the airport runway. The An-124 is the largest heavy-lift aircraft in the world, capable of carrying about 150 tonnes of cargo.

Three Il-76 transport aircraft, RussiaÂ’s workhorse heavy lifters, were also on the ground. Three An-32s and one An-

Turkey seeks to purge pro-US Kurdish force that helped defeat Islamic State in Syria
In apparent snub to US, Turkish foreign minister says 'elimination' of group is country's 'strategic goal'

With ally Iran, also bereft with the fall of the Assad regime, the matter will escalate out of control.

...too bad we can't shoot them down before the evacuating troops are redeployed in Ukraine; giving credence to Baba Vanga's WWIII prediction and bring things to a pretty pass per MIT's study that "civilization ends around 2040" anyhow. This is Russia's second bugout in the 21st century, since their swift departure from Afghanistan....and terrorist Osama Bin Laden once said "the US was a 'paper dragon'!!?

150 mass graves containing about 75,000 bodies of detainees were discovered in one area, the Al-Hussainiya area in the Damascus countryside behind the Conference Palace. Each hole is 20 meters deep.

Everyone kinda gets focused on the Assad regime.
But they have to examine the other groups too.

The Turkish backed rebels, or even the Kurds...are also doing war crimes.
And don't forget that sleeping cells of ISIS are still active.
