The Net Effect of U.S. Syrian military Strategies

What appears to be happening is that the U.S. (de facto) has decided that Assad isn't as bad as ISIS. However, it can't tell this to the Syrian Rebels who are not ISIS and who the U.S. is aiding to fight ISIS and Assad.

However, Assad by wiping out all Syrian Rebel Groups one by one except ISIS has found a perverse way to stay in power by forming an unholy alliance in some ways with ISIS. ISIS has benefitted from this unholy alliance by destroying all SHIA, Christians and anyone else they have come across that isn't extremist Sunni in Northern Syria and Northern Iraq. Now they are starting to go into Lebanon to try to wipe out Hezbollah too. Al Qaeda has announced it will be trying to genocide Hezbollah too recently as well. Hezbollah is funded by Iran so ISIS and Al Qaeda attacking and trying to genocide all Hezbollah is an attack on Iran from this point of view.

However, the end result of all this mess is that Assad (after all his atrocities against the Sunni people of Syria) likely will remain in power unless Al Qaeda or ISIS wipe him out. However, that is unlikely as long as Russia and Iran keep resupplying Assad with helicopters, missiles, tanks and other weapons ongoing for years into the future.

So, the net effect is ISIS gets 1000 new Sunni soldiers per month and makes around $1 million dollars a day through extortion, female sexual slavery, selling females to the highest bidder and kidnapping and murder of wealthier people they come across in Syria and IRaq and soon to be Lebanon.

And so the U.S. keeps bombing ISIS positions ongoing and hopefully this will help the peshmerga Kurdish fighters retake Kobani. However, ISIS grows stronger every single day and sometimes attacks up to 100 places at once throughout Syria and Iraq and now sometimes Lebanon too.

Also, here is another fact: ISIS soldiers are well paid and promised a female sex slave of their own if they join ISIS. So, unemployed boys ages 16 to whatever that are Sunni are joining up at a rate of 1000 now per month. However, what they aren't told is that they will also be drugged by Zolam and sometimes strapped with a bomb and told to go kill themselves and others which they will do on Zolam even if they never would have considered doing this if they weren't drugged. This is the reality on the ground now in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
