You're trolling, which I can enjoy, and the cease fire itself is definitely


good news. Who the "winners" are will depend. If Turkey basically achieved what it wanted to achieve and then agreed to a cease fire, then I guess they're a winner. And they avoid sanctions and maybe get Trump to reholster his favorite weapon - tariffs. Does the cease fire somehow get Assad to pull back, or has he in a week consolidated more control over northern Syria, with the Kurds now in their pockets? What about Russia's interests? What's become of the ISIS prisoners?

For Trumpies, I understand the desire to spike the ball. At this point, we don't even know if the cease fire will hold. Let's let things settle down before celebrating too much.

That said, *back slap* - nice job in shutting the guns down at least for now, Donnie boy!
