Worst that can happen is a bunch of smaller fights. The locals would still prefer that to Bashar.

Glad they can move forward. That was a decade of extremely rough, uncertain, and personal fighting, with all kinds of twists and turns. I can’t even imagine how badly they would have done him if he didn’t run.
Hopefully the Shia and Sunni populations can work out some kind of balance without getting into it again.

This is a great day for the Syrian people
And now there will be a massive wave of pearl clutchers crying about how things could go bad in Syria
The same ones who gave less than a fukk about the suffering of Syrian people under Bashar and his scumbag father Hafez for 54 years.
B-b-ut regional stability
fukk off!

Assad was a paper tiger held up by Iran and Russia/Hezbollah. The wars in Gaza/Lebabon/Ukraine weakened their support system coupled with Syria's economy in shambles the writing was prolly on the wall.
My fear is Syria turns into Libya, warring Islamist and secular factions battling for control and ISIS or one of its spawns taking advantage of the instability to make territorial gains.
I hope I'm wrong

Showing stability will be key in getting economic investment. The fact everyone was terrorized may be key in getting everyone to work together.Assad was a paper tiger held up by Iran and Russia/Hezbollah.

The immediate problem will be the neighbors(Israel, Turkey, Iran-Iraq) trying to delegitimization or destabilize it for their own reasons.
Turkey definitely seems like they’ll have a big influence.
I know Assad used Alawites more than Alawites actually backed him per se but the Syrian army had a very disproportionate number of Alawites regardless.
I can't see how Jolani forces don't take some revenge on them.

It was a similar situation with Iraq, as far as the sectarian/civil war. It took a lot of ugly fighting, for a long time, but they were able to somewhat squash the bs. Hopefully they’re reflecting on how fukked up the fighting was in Syria, and use that reflection to take a breather. I don’t know if they know if they have it in them emotionally to go at it like that again. The effort and alliances would be dramatically different.

So far they seem very far sighted on how theyre treating this. We will see what future holds.

Funny how pro Assad theory is that it’s orchestrated by Israel, meanwhile Israel is trying to make sure new rulers do not inherit his military power.
This is positive news but at the moment those are just words. As you say, we'll have to wait and see.Jolani forces in one of biggest Alawite cities on coast:

When the power vaccum will be filled is when those words will be put to test.
