Maybe. The Alawites will retreat to their stronghold on the coast and fight to the last man if they get even a whiff of that. Likeliest we have a new wrinkle of the civil war rather than an ending

It's possible some sort of federated Syria could emerge with the (already-existing) Kurdish autonomous zone in the North, a Druze one in the South and an Alawite one on the coast, but I agree that continued fighting is the more likely outcome.

Problem there is Turkey (and maybe even Iraq) are probably not enthused about the idea of a federated state with a Kurdish Piedmont)
