The tenuous ceasefire across Syria - not including the "beloved" head-choppers of ISIS and Al Qaeda that the Gulf autocracies and Western regimes sponsor - looks to be slowly spreading and holding. This is very, very good news.
The neo-cons in the USA must be apoplectic with rage. And some "leftists" that, somehow, find themselves always agreeing with them.
CONFIRMED: Syrian ceasefire in place
If this shocking peace continues, I rather expect sudden stories of cruelties to babies in incubators, yellow cake powder, "clear and present dangers" sprouting up like dandelions in the backyard, etc., etc. in the Western MSM. And dutifully regurgitated here.
Speaking about what this means, the Russian president said: “This agreement we’ve reached is very fragile, as we all understand. It requires special attention and patience, professional attitude, and constant contact with our partners.”
Hitler! Why Putin is JUST LIKE Hitler! Think of the children!
ETA: Oh look. More shelling of the Russian Embassy in Damascus.
Russian embassy in Syria shelled from rebel-held area
Russia’s embassy in Damascus was shelled again on Thursday evening, it said in a statement. The firing came from a rebel-controlled neighborhood of the Syria capital, the embassy said, adding the the shells caused minor damage to the mission. The statement said the attack was apparently meant to derail an attempt to establish a comprehensive ceasefire in the country brokered by Russia, Turkey and Iran.
I'm sure it was "just a mistake" by the moderate head-choppers. They would never, you know ...
