Zero. The Middle East is still as unsable as it's been since the 1960s.
Join with Russia, fight ISIS, and allow Assad to remain in power.

Time and time again we see politicians and commentators tell us the problem was not having a plan for after the invasion.
There is no after plan when you open Pandora's Box. Or set loose a revine full of zombies, or a football field of venomous rats.
The only workable plan is to kill them the moment they create trouble. Much like all the despots were doing before we intervened.
That's not an opinion, it's a proven successful formula.
Look at history of all the tribal conflicts in Europe. Often playing into the hands of conquering despots.
