Huh, didn't expect Syria to be a possible scenario. There is no upside to it.

There's one big "upside" - Syria can't hit the West back.

(Unless one counts Turkey as part of the West, but Turkey is used to being disliked by Syria.)

The Syrians (with Russian help) can target aircraft providing combat support in Mosul or targeting ISIS positions in Syria. The Iranians might end up doing something. It also does not help that the 2nd and third level positions in all agencies are not filled yet. The risk of escalation is there. Add Trump's personality into the mix...
