The United States and Russia have announced a plan to bring about a ceasefire in Syria, US Secretary of State John Kerry said.
"Today we are announcing an arrangement that we think has the capability of sticking, but it's dependent on people's choices," Kerry said Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, appearing alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Kerry said the pact calls for the Syrian government and the opposition to respect a nationwide ceasefire scheduled to take effect at sundown Monday.
The Syrian regime announced its support of the ceasefire deal Saturday, according to the state-run al-Ikhbariya TV.

Let's hope this is more successful than the various Minsk iterations (which Kiev refuses to implement) or the previous "cessation of hostilities" in Syria, which the Saudi-backed extremists used to regroup and re-arm.

It could be the start. Time will tell.
Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

Also... Why do I have a feeling this won't last 24 hours and it was all hocus-pocus by Russia to make it look like they care about civilians? "Well. we tried...but those rebels kept shooting back against our jet fighters..."
Good point G........methinks our Russian friends are looking to buy a little
overall good publicity, make it seem that they have good intentions.........
time will tell, it'll work like the over 200 treaties the US upheld with the
Native American tribes.
Ah, history!

You know, it's funny but I can't help but wonder what Donald will have to say about the ineffective Kerry and the feckless Obama.
It's damned if you do, or damned if you don't. The double edged sword cuts both ways, don't she?

You normally don't strike me as this gullible.
This is just an excuse to execute (mass murder, bomb) all of the anti-ISIS forces while America stands aside.

I am also shocked, just shocked I say, that this obvious factoid was not posted in the Predictions thread, when it is claimed as so unbiased.

This must be the reason Obamination and Secretary Swiftboat Ketchup are working so feverishly to make deals with Putin. How much is Putin paying them in their waning months of corrupt power? Or is Putin just "contributing" to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation and assuming Obamination and Swiftboat will get a cut?

And you're a cowardly crazy lying stupid fucking asshole who couldn't read English if his life depended on it.
There's NO amount or type of help that will EVER come close to making you even half-human.
