    Seems an open question whether Damascus’s anti-Islamism will allow it to eventually normalize with Erdogan’s Turkey – something that would otherwise probably make sense at some future point, whether based on interests or just geographic reality.

    .: Trump’s announcement of the end of ISIS only signifies the end of its territorial presence – which means “they’ve cut the trunk of this malignant tree, but they haven’t pulled up its roots, which are still capable of growing and spreading.”
