Shocker: A Cease Fire Agreement Announced Between US And Russia In Syria

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


As President Trump and Vladimir Putin were meeting in Hamburg, this story has hit the wires:

U.S. officials say the United States and Russia have reached an agreement for a cease-fire in southwest Syria.

The cease-fire is set to take effect July 9 at noon Damascus time. Word of the cease-fire has emerged as President Donald Trump is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

There are several key things to keep in mind here.

1. The area covered is that area where Hezbollah, Iranian militias, the Assad regime, and militias who are nominally our allies are all jostling for advantage. This does not cover the area occupied by ISIS.

2. This is the area where we have launched, by my count, three separate attacks on Iranian back militias encroaching upon an area where US and UK SOF are training anti-Assad Syrians.

Beyond that, we don’t know what this means. Does it mean that the US and Russia are stopping military operations by their own forces in the area? Or does it apply to Assad, and everyone else? Past deals have involved the Syrian regime, Iran, and Turkey, this effort doesn’t seem to have brought them in. Though it does seem to support a local cease fire

My guess is that it means that the US and Russia have decided to stop playing silly fighter pilot games because the risk of a shootdown of a US or Russian aircraft is simply too high. It should also be viewed in the context of the G20 meeting between Trump and Putin. It is a small step to a more cooperative relationship between the US and Russia in Syria and it is something sorta tangible that Trump can take away from his Putin meeting.

It is hard to believe this agreement will be noticed on the ground.

      Who knows maybe Putin is letting Trump in on what is really going on and about the false flags being pushed on Trump as the real deal by the deep state swamp critters.

    • OBSERVER

      It must be recognized that despite Trumps conciliatory parlance with Putin is predicated upon several things (i) that he not get assassinated (ii) Trump may not get reelected (iii) even that he gets reelected he cannot run for a 3rd term and the moles will have run of the administration. Therefore Putin has a temporary change of course but even at that not an actual change for the unilateral illegal immoral genocide of Christians in Syria and elsewhere continues at the hands of the US supported ISIS, the US is continuing to whittle away at Syria for the oil and gas pipeline promised to the EU. The US instigates war with N Korea over the years refusing talks resulting in belligerence from NK and the prospects look to be some conflict there that will likely result in catastrophic boots on the ground war and worst case NK being taken by china and russia with attendant other areas of conflict unknown but devastating in result. These things have over time resulted in part at least from the indigenous immoral official US policy of attacking by coup or unilateral warring upon any country the US perceives is a threat, any threat even those that would state that the resources of oil, gas and minerals of a country are so important that the US needs those assets they will attack to get them was implemented by Bush, even McCain just a few months ago bragged the US can invade any country it wants to and what with the brutality of financial adventurism bush-wacking claim jumping adding horrific crimes against humanity by dumping radioactive substances on the innocent populations SEE RADIATION BPOMBING OF IRAQ

      So Trump has a military that is not responsive despite that Bush and Cheney have been found guilty of crimes against humanity as war crimes and would be arrested if they go overseas they are war criminals and their policy without Trump addressing it will be on that same road. As Commander in Chief he has at this stage an obligation to reign in the Bush policy by force and ought to send out an oath for all military officers to sign as a loyalty oath to him and if they do not sign replace them with officers that will sign and reign in the immoral Bush policy. As Commander in Chief he is in charge of Intelligence agencies as well. Now is the appropriate time, the illegal invasion and bombing of Syria and the uptick in Ukraine warring with the US bringing in elements of ISIS to fight there is very serious as offences, the US ran the coup on the doorstep in the UKRAINE, Trump to be moral needs to have US forces removed from Syria and Ukraine, the Russians and not just Putin view the US administration with just the same perceptions stated and will not do anything different than what is happening now they have had Bush Jr promise that NATO will not go into countries that Russia peacefully gave freedom to so what are the Russians to think of all of this, they think as is obvious that the conciliatory attitude of Trump is generally a staged event, democrats and deep state attack trump making him appear politically weak, the Russians are supposed to think get whatever you can of a reduction of tensions when in fact the stage is set to have the encroachment of NATO and the US remain as they are and that Russia take not much if anything in return, the Americans have been fooled by their own staged acts, instead of coming away with better conditions is actually seen by Russia as telling them the US will continue and so a very real buildup with an expectation of continuing the BUSH policy is inevitable making things worse and the chance for war ever greater, up to and until their is true admission that the BUSH policy has caused the world great nuclear war risk and that US & NATO, EU encroachment is reversed there is expected to be a devastating war for Russia to prepare for regardless of small conciliatory acts by Trump, for who can believe anything the US says with a policy of invading a country a year while radiating the populations diabolically, the fear Russia is supposed to fell is being translated into fight or die by the BUSH policy of preemptive strike, which means the policy is an abject failure that may well result in the end of the US not only as a superpower but the end of it as a country. So a return to genuine change needs to be carried out by forcefully sending the BUSH policy traitors supporting world hegemony to the gallows for instigation of war by treason or jail them for 40 years a piece without exception, the price of inaction is too great not to take drastic steps to stop the march to war and or accidental war. and so it will go>

        Putin has been burned by so many of our Presidents playing him for a fool and 2nd world country, that I doubt there’s much Trump will be able to do to convince him differently. If I were Putin I would have to look at Trump as a temporary distraction and continue on with his policy’s knowing full well he has the backing of his public. Unlike Trump who is being undermined at every turn with a public to brainwashed by their Network news they have essentially become useless pawns in China, Iran and Russia’s favor.

        The only thing that will tell me different is if the public gets behind Trump and empowers him to throw these deep state maniacal fools and tools out to clear out the swamp.
