They sit around the table in Rome, with no Syrian representatives, discussing Syria’s future—how convenient.

As they sip their coffee and nibble on pastries, the reality is that the very forces they lean on for influence in Syria, such as the PKK/YPG/SDG, have no future left. It’s clear that those with genuine influence on the ground—Türkiye—have already reshaped the dynamics of the region.

These so-called ‘meetings’ are nothing more than a desperate attempt to salvage what’s left of their leverage, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. The truth is that Türkiye-backed Syrian forces, with the collapse of their puppets, have left them with no true foothold in the country. The clock is ticking for them, and no amount of diplomatic posturing will change that reality. ⏳
