Ex-regime figures and jihadist commanders are being recycled into suits and posts , as alliances harden from a brutal state into warlordism. Contracts and appointments launder reputations; justice still an illusion in the middle east.

Syria doesn’t need “federalism” or “soft state” experiments. These are just blueprints for permanent chaos, militias, foreign meddling, and endless economic collapse.

Syria’s future isn’t decided on the battlefield but in the calculations of intelligence agencies. Warlords, proxies & managed chaos keep the country weak — but a national democratic alternative is still possible.
