It's like I am watching a reboot of season 1 of Homeland… but they would not write a plot this obvious.
Ahmed al-Sharaa has a powerful new stick with which to warn off rivals on his jihadist flank at home. Those who refuse to fall into line may now face the wrath not only of the Syrian state but America and its many allies
