You defend against the new Syrian government while opening a direct line of communication with Turkey by way of the Druze in Lebanon.
Then you get Turkey to tell Syria to stop dicking around with religious minorities like the Druze and Alawites because all that does is give Israel leverage and strength. The people now running Syria are almost as retarded as Bashar Al-Assad. They're making and repeating mistakes that don't need to be made.
Salafist insurgents lost the Syrian Civil War the first time, and had to be rescued by Turkey by way of negotiations and brought over to Northwest Syria along Turkey's borders, which was independently-governed territory that could only exist because of Turkish suzerainty. Salafists haven't won a single war in the last 40 years, whereas orthodox Sunnis have won several wars, including against the US and Russia. Twelver Shia have won many wars too.
