So I am really confused about the opposition in Syria? Are they several groups, varying in degrees when it comes to terrorism and extremism?

Is ISIS amongst the opposition that was fighting Asad, so would we say ISIS won now?

No, ISIS is not a member of the opposition and would be considered at war with them.

@Elessar wow! Thanks for sharing. I am so conflicted about what to feel about what happened.

@BittersweetPotato "Cautious optimism"

Which was how I felt entering the American election, and we've seen the outcome of my optimism 😬

@Elessar For sure.
