The main goal in Syria should be clear: overthrowing the Assad regime. Looking at the current dynamics and the steady decline of his power, it seems like only a matter of time before Assad is out of the picture . And with him, a big chunk of Iran’s and Hezbollah’s influence. It’s surprising, though, how some still fantasize about Turkey expanding its territory in the region. Let’s be honest: Turkey is already having a hard time managing 5 million Syrian refugees within its own borders, not to mention its own large Kurdish population. The idea that Turkey would willingly take on even more problems by annexing Arab territories feels like the kind of daydream only a teenager would indulge in.
Meanwhile, the Western strategy couldn’t be more obvious: establishing a Kurdish state, or at least some form of autonomy, has become the main focus. The Kurds are the only group in this mess that has managed to gain the support of nearly everyone - from Israel to Europe to the United States. Ironically, despite all this backing, their fighters haven’t exactly proven themselves to be military powerhouses. Still, in geopolitics, it’s not always about how well you fight but how useful you are as a partner. Slowly but surely, the groundwork for a Kurdish state is being laid, just like it was in Iraq. Whether this is an unavoidable necessity or just another example of political interests taking precedence over everything else is still up for debate.
