this map is what russia, iran, and turkey are going to discuss at their next meeting. the syrian civil war will end with internal partition along ethnic lines with aleppo falling under the turkish sphere, damascus and druze the iranian, and latakia the russian. syria will still remain a sovereign state but will be internally partitioned and under turkish, russian, and iranian oversight.  the u.s. and israel will have no say. assad's job is just to hold latakia and damascus until the ceasefire can be signed. then the turks will bring their dogs under control, and russian and iranian peacekeepers will arrive to enforce the agreement and begin reconstruction.  that is what i hope.
