Erdogan and Pence reach a deal to suspend Turkish incursion in N. Syria for 120 hours (Update:Kurds accept but Syria Rejects Deal)

well, he knew everyone was going to tell him to stop it.
so why did he do it in the first place.

To neutralize the YPG..this will all end with SAA taking over the Syrian/Turkish border and the reunification of Syria proper under Damascus.

He got the 'nod and wink' he couldn't refuse.

To his credit, he took the bait AND got everything he wanted out of it.

Those US nukes are an issue.

So now Turkey will take out Syria, or else the age-old conflict between Turkey and Syria's backer Russia will flare up ... but we won't be there!

And I wish them all the best, but as for us, I am glad we're 7000 miles away. If we had to fight Mexico we wouldn't want them coming over, so it's better for us to pick our battles.

Russia will broker a deal between Turkey and Assad where Erdogan will "gracefully" withdraw his army by handing over the save zone to Assad.

This is the beginning of a TOTAL Russian victory in Syria. This also means...Russia has won the power play over influence in the Middle East.

It means that Russia has been lured into the trap...

Western hegemony had to end sometime, eh?

No..I'm sorry but Putin is the one calling the shots regarding Syria..
Why do you think the US/Turkey deal calls for a 5 day ceasefire?
Cuz Erdogan will be visiting Putin in Sochi in exactly 5 days.

Si, basically, its a cease fire, pending more instructions from Putin.

Look you friggin idiot. The Turks have been building up their military along that border for some time now. The Turks were going in and 50 US troops were not going to stop them. Trump removed our troops to keep them safe. The Turks and Kurds have been fighting forever.

Now they can have at it without risking our troops or they can behave. It's up to them.

Not a reliable source. Quite the opposite, in fact. UK funded propaganda.

It ain't brain rocketry.

Were you born yesterday?

Russia HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INFLUENCE IN SYRIA. FOR DECADES. The only thing that has changed is NOTHING.

Nothing has changed. Quit acting like this is something new.

Guess so

Kinda surpriced it took so long. Everyone should have realized as soon as the Russian military entered Syria that this was never going to end any other way than Damascus prevailing.

When Erdogan then sided with Russia after the failed "Gulenist" coup..it was game over for the US.

I know that...

They call the shots REGARDING Syria. Meaning Erdogan who is also Russia's ally will do as Putin says and he will hand over that save zone to Assad.

What is new here is that with Assad staying in power, Turkey alligning with Russia and the pro Iran shia government in Iraq, the US has lost influence in the Middle East and alot of it.

Bingo

I know..but it's been all over twitter from alot of sources. Seems to be calm for the past few hours so perhaps the ceasefire is in place.

Correct.

Team Neocon's demonic plans have ended in defeat and humiliation. That's because God was always on the side of the Christian-defending Assad.

It was shameful for me as an American to watch American troops fight hand-in-hand with the terrorist "Syrian Rebels" (an umbrella euphemism which included Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra) and the terrorist Kurdish YPG.

We will know if Trump is the real deal if he also withdraws our troops from the biggest Tyranny in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia. If he doesn't, he is just another puppet-President.

Syrian Observatory is UK propaganda run by one man in the UK. LOL! Some source!

It will appear messy at first...
the deep state will try to antagonize each side, while the msm here in the US pushes a negative narrative.

see how strong the msm is? half the population wants war!! crazy.

I actually hope this works out, but I know it is maybe unlikely.

And the Syrian government is not on board at all -- at least yet. Maybe Putin will have more luck with them.
