And people said America's sloppy Afghanistan withdrawal was bad, it was, but this was way more pathetic.

Yeah, the Syria situation was reminding me of that as well, with the government just collapsing in the space of a week without even appearing to put up a fight.

I reckon though the aftermath is going to be more akin to Libya though, where various disparate rebel groups hold different areas of the country and being unwilling to reunify the country so the country essentially fractures. The Kurds, for instance, aren’t going to give up their de facto independence and at the same time Turkey isn’t going to pull out to allow and the Kurds on its border. The inly remnants of the Asaad regime seems to persist at present in the costal cities so yet to see what happens there.
