It seems that it took 2 days for a new militia group to rise up and topple Assad’s government. I assume that there are foreign supported militias by the US, Israel and Russia, and of course Russia is strangling out Ukraine which takes up more of its time.

I expect that the current rebels are an extension of the Syrian Democratic Front, which was a creation of the CIA backed southern rebels that was carved out of the southern Free Syrian Army units as that organization collapsed.
What's interesting to me is that Turkey assisted in the invasion, and the Syrian Army stood down. So, it's pretty clear that someone organized a coup against Assad, and most sides seemed to have made a deal. Turkey isn't actually a puppet state of the US, so something must have been agreed upon between Turkey, Iran, Russia, and the US to allow this to happen so quickly.
