Yes the rebels, you mentioned them as a group not as a group of groups with unknown sympathies until they turn their weapons on the providers, and you could be a bit more specific about NATO friends because at least one is not a friend at all and is itching to oops sorry 'bout that on the Kurds, then add the Iranian and Saudi/Qatari proxies for something closer to reality after taking out the Israelites because they're not actively in the fray and won't be since that might confuse the issue.

Otherwise fairly accurate, if you don't include mercenaries paid by the US taxpayer, and possibly a general lack of traction since it isn't always easy switching sides from supporting a bunch of Islamists under one admin to supporting another that claim to represent whatever it is you think you want.
