    “liberation” i dont think its liberation to have bread prices rise by 900%.

    It could be considered “fine” if it were only temporary but most likely their real incomes will continue to stagnate for years, decades.

    There won’t be any significant recovery. Israel and Turkey are taking their territory, reducing their real resources. The state is completely non-functional and cannot mobilize whatever local resources are available.

      Syria is gonna get carved and be left a rump state ruled by comprador cliques. It will take decades to get any semblance of peace and even more just to reach state from before the war started. Few entire generations of people wasted and sacrificed to stonks line. In the meantime libs are shrugging, claiming lesser evil compared to Assad and still searching for the mythical USA intervention beneficial for the intervened country. They are sure it will be next time, next country, they promise.
