Nobody really knows. Moscow has granted asylum for Assad as it attempts to withdraw its troops out of Syria, and the major arms resupply route to Hezbollah in Lebanon is now cut off. I don't know how friendly the rebels are going to be to American troops in Syria, but they have some pretty major scores to settle with both Russia and Iran.

Hezbollah is now saying that it has withdrawn all of their forces from Syria. The Israelis are saying they destroyed a chemical weapons factory belonging to the Assad regime, and have taken over the Syrian side of the Hermon mountain range, creating a larger demilitarized buffer zone between Syria and Israel.

In short, I don't know if this is good or bad for the U.S. But it's looking like an absolute disaster for Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. And any of those talking heads on TV who say they know more than that are talking out of their ass.

Onward and upward,

Before this ends Damascus will be utterly destroyed and uninhabitable.

Biden is saying we carried out a few dozen airstrikes against ISIS targets as a warning.

I don't know about you, but "a few dozen" airstrikes sounds like something more than a "warning" to me.

Ian is in a position of unprecedented weakness. The "Axis of Resistance" was an informal, Iran-led alliance uniting Syria with armed groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. With its allies weakened or destroyed, Iran will be forced to adjust its role in the region.

Too long to post here, read the whole thing at the link.
