Assessing the Outcome of the Syrian Conflict

The recent developments in Syria have prompted an analysis of whether the United States and Israel can genuinely claim victory over Iran, Russia, and China in the region. While some commentators suggest that the collapse of the Syrian government signifies a triumph for Western interests, this interpretation fails to account for the complex socio-political landscape of the country. The role of Turkey, particularly under President Erdogan, is under scrutiny as it influences the actions of militant groups in the area. The idea that these forces can effectively manage Syria's myriad challenges, from governance to economic stability, is questioned, suggesting a paradox in the perceived victory.
