It's called Geneva. Geneva is the endgame.
Geneva is the UN-backed road map for ending the war in Syria. Its provisions allow for the "establishment of a transitional governing body," the "participation of all groups... in a meaningful national dialogue," and "free and fair multi-party elections."
The treaty is straightforward and uncontroversial. The one sticking point, is whether Assad will be allowed to participate in the transitional government or not.
Putin says "Yes." Obama says "No."
Putin is going to win this battle. Eventually, the administration will cave in and withdraw their demand that Assad step down. Their plans for regime change through the use of jihadi-proxies will have failed, and Putin will have moved the Middle East one step closer to a lasting peace and genuine security.
That's the silver lining and that's how the war in Syria will end.
Bravo, Putin.
