US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barak on Syria:

The Druze can arm themselves with the money they earn from trading in Captagon. This captagon is something, and it's like making meth.

So Syria was very careful. He knows that if he bites into one of these invasions, the fire is going to explode.

So she was very patient in allowing Israel to protect her "buffer zone" by encountering and behaving inappropriately with the Druze.

To the extent that this sheikh is implying to people that he has the backing of the US, this is completely wrong.
