    A few realities that should guide discussions on Syria: - Damascus won't reform - Russia can't force reform - China won't rebuild - Iran won't leave - Refugees won't return en masse anytime soon - Geneva doesn't matter - "Guarantees" don't exist - Things are not "back to normal"

        Damascus has reformed. Russia have forced reform. China has started investing. True. Refugees have started to return, from Lebanon and Jordan. True. So what? It will be back to normal in in long term future.

        - the more SDF cements control, the more Erdogan is pressured by internal forces to intervene further - the more moderates in Idlib push away HTS, the more Assad's coalition wants to move into Idlib - the more ISIS is cornered, the more fatalistic they will fight

        Things are gridlocked in most aspects, but some are slowly unwinding. At some point there will be renewed escalation and redrawing of strategic realities. More violence unfortunately.

        No at all. Damascus is fine. Many people returned. We feel safe today. We regained our normal life. We can start reform and rebuild our country. I am optimistic.

        Most immediate concern: when will US leave? Surely they can't remain in Syria for ever.
