How will the conflict in Syria end? Opinions.

The title says it all. My opinion is that It will end with a large ground invasion(most likely russia), but I also think that it will still leave the region a mess because of the power vacuum it will create.

In the foreseeable future, it will not end. There will be power shifts, but no real solutions.

My guess is world war. I think Turkey will eventually switch sides because of petrol interests in pipelines running through their territory. Turkey is also pissed the US is arming Kurds because that becomes a border security threat. The whole situation is so complicated there are issues similar to those with almost every central asian country involved.
At the end of the day... NATO operating right now is a essentially a US led task force fighting for control of resource rich areas. China and Russia can not allow these resource rich areas to fall under permanent control of the Anglo-Americans. It means war.

I don't think any of this shit is really ever going to stop. I mean maybe it'll end in one particular country and inside their borders, but then others all around them are going to pop up and start the whole cycle over again.
I really can't read "the conflict in Syria" and say how and when it will end. It would be a technicality at best. From all I know and have read about the conflict in that region over the past decade, it's not really about any one country. This is just a long term event encompassing the entire region (if it hasn't happened to some country in that region yet, I wouldn't doubt they'd be next in line).
My honest opinion is this shit is only ever going to finally stop, when they some how all get united under a single leader/government that the populace is happy with or that at some point they're going to cross a line that forces many countries into a full on war with the region and bomb them so bad, it quells all future plans of continuing on this path. As neither are likely to happen any time remotely soon, I think this is just going to be an ongoing event for a very long time.

I think the only true way to end it is with a full blown dictatorship and the elimination of any armed opposition. Reading about it the entire region has been a complete mess ever since the dissolution of the Ottoman empire and even then the sectarian tensions and general inability to adapt to modernity were already there and waiting to devolve into the current situation. Its a very complex situation and I don't think there's really any foreseeable conclusion to it in sight yet.

Best case scenario is some kind of dysfunctional coalition government forms with lots of groups refusing to join and maintaining military action. This will probably be decades of mayhem.

You put it in better words than I managed to. That entire region is just a powder keg waiting to go off. Just a long list of power grabs, corruption and revolting/civil war.

I think it would calm the situation down if one of us volunteered to blow up the Kaaba and the Temple Mount.

It must be nice to be young. Israel fought most of the Arab countries in 1948. There was a decisive war between Israel and Egypt in 1967. And others too numerous to mention.

Assad will probably be back in power smothering his people ...but that would be better than some of those more extreme Islamic groups. There will never be peace as long as hate is around and, history has shown that ruling by force never lasts.
A better question would be....How many of these refugees will actually go back if peace is ever achieved.

Peace won't be achieved in that area until it's ethnically cleansed into homogenity. Their culture is too polarized and set on orthodoxy. The primary reason for this descent into a full blown civil war was an inability to cope with an evolving financial landscape. Their population was almost entirely funded through a welfare system kept alive by oil revenues. Once that started to dry up and their state was unable to effectively evolve past it due to social orthodoxy and general resistence to adaptation the multiple groups and factions within Syrian society become disenfranchised and disillusioned with the current governments ability to provide for them. Normally this would entail an overthrow of the government but due to the Assad regimes extreme effectiveness at political suppresion the uprising was completely decentralized leading it to decay into this complete cluster fuck of competing factions. Due to the sheer number of them and their unwillingness to cooperate with one another there will be no single solution to the problem in the immediate or forseeable future. I completely expect this sitution to carry on for the next 5 if not 10 years.

When has a Middle Eastern problem ever ended?
It's the bombing range of the world. It's where foreign armies test their new arsenals.

It wont end until either:
A: Israel(with the help of other countries) wipes out muslims completely
B: Muslims(with the help of other countries) end the occupation of Palestine
C: It all gets reduced to uninhabitable glass
barring those conditions, i doubt the conflict can ever end
