      Only if hell freezes over : Russia’s FSB chief warns IS and Al-Qaeda could mergehttp://tass.com/defense/1029611

      I honestly cannot grasp why the FSB would make such a statement. ISIS will never return to AQ’s ranks. Nor would AQ be willing to accept them. That ship has sailed

          So, there’s a hidden agenda here again. Why does Russia adhere to this nonsensical narrative?

          Simple: They want to justify an assault on Idlib by saying that HTS = ISIS. https://twitter.com/p_vanostaeyen/status/1060240331659194368 …

          In other words: although most of the rebel and Jihadi groups held their part of the deal in the Turkish-Russian ceasefire, Russia and Syria want to clean out Idlib as soon as possible

          The aim is clear, first take down Idlib. Get ISIS defeated by the Kurds. Then get the Kurds out of Eastern Syria and force the international coalition to leave Syria altogether. Assad is humming “take the power back”
