Turkey, Iran, Russia, and the U.S. all have their fingers in that pie. I don't think the U.S. more so than the others though.

It will be interesting to see what Turkey does here. Do they immediately handover the Turkish occupied areas to the new regime? I guess it probably depends on who fills the vacuum, but some believe Erdogan has neo-Ottoman desires for the region. And what happens if Turkey does not return them and the new Syrian regime attacks Turkey, does that draw NATO in.

The possibilities are numerous here so I guess no point in worrying about it until things unfold. I can't help but worry a little though because there is the potential for things to go right off the rails.
