Currently there’s a window of opportunity for transitioning to a functional state of some sort. I’m referring to either the potential future failure of that, or the potential failure to transition to a functional state.
Before this week, Syria had already for years been carved up by ISIS/HTS/Al-Qaeda, Turkey, US/Kurds, and Israel. The Assad government was already a diminished, rump state. Now the four frenemy victors will decide the fate of the ex-rump state.
Huh? The state of Syria just collapsed; its failure is already in the rear view mirror.
