63 - Can Syria Be Rebuilt?

from The Red Line · host The Red Line

We are entering the next stage of the Syrian Civil War, a less bloody stage, but a far more impactful one. The major powers that ratcheted this war to where it is today are now looking to finalise the future for the country, will it be divided into zones of control, will the US look to negotiate a settlement, or will Assad regain control of his former nation? There are few good options on the table, and each one of them comes with a myriad of consequences.
