The number of U.S backed terrorists in Syria have significantly reduced because of Syrian Forces and the Russian Army liberating cities one after the other from ISIS control.
But the fight against U.S backed terrorists is only one small part of the grand geopolitical chessboard that has been laid out by various competing factions in Syria.
War Criminal Henry Kissinger(prodigy of the infamous psychopath David Rockefeller) is the one controlling U.S foreign policy and his tactics have failed in Syria but that does not mean the Globalists would stop merely because Kissinger failed (and even had his puppets get exposed by an investigative journalist for sending weapons to Syrian rebels).The "Greater Israel Project" would have to be abandoned if the Globalists are serious about creating a "New International Economic World Order" in 2018 but knowing the influence of the Zionist lobby, that might no longer be possible.

I've been keeping up with this conflict for over 2 years. Here is the best up to date map of the conflict I use: https://mideast.liveuamap.com/
What I think is more likely to happen, than it used to be, is the breakout of a regional war. Currently this is a proxy battle between 2 different sides. One side is the US, Saudi, Israel, the Islamist gangs, and NATO to an extent. The other side is Russia, Iran, Bath Party Syria and Iraq, and China somewhat.
Recently the Kurdish people have called for independence: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/23/world/middleeast/turkey-kurds-independence-referendum.html
Turkey is currently massing troops and holding military exercises on the border with Kurdistan, ready to take over key strategic lands. Turkey has also shifted away from NATO and sided more with Syria and Russia, at least in terms of keeping the Kurdish people down.
It's unclear what will happen to the power dynamics of the region after ISIS is wiped out. It's possible that there is a clampdown and eerie peace. Or it is possible for a larger conflict to explode. We'll see.
The Kurds would be used by the West destabilize the Middle East and once their role is over,the West would discard them.Same script, different people and different time period.
