Whatever government be assured that Erdogan wants stability so that repatriation can happen.
Russia badly failed in supporting Assad but will fight for the Mediterranean port it was granted by Assad.
Iran is in no shape to fight a war for Syria.

It will be a jump ball for control but I don’t see the US committing more troops to establish a government there under the next President who takes office shortly.
