Q When is a ceasefire not a ceasefire?

Seems Russia and US are carrying out thoer own war and using Syria as their battle ground. They are only Arabs after all!

(I am being ironic..just in case anyone thought that was in bad taste ... my grandmother and other family members are Arabs)

Well as you rightly say the ceasefire did not include attacks on IS or other jihadist groups and the Americans claim that is who they were attacking they made a mistake and now they will pay the price which will probably be the breakdown of the ceasefire.

The whole thing was destined for disaster before it began how could anyone hope that the Russians and the Americans could every cooperate successfully. I watch with not much hope of success.

As you say tanith 'The whole thing was destined for disaster before it began how could anyone hope that the Russians and the Americans could every cooperate successfully.'

However they have done before - just think Yalta.

I shall watch this scenario with interest but have an early start tomorrow so am now leaving this with you GNetters.

US has said it was them who made the error....

I'm afraid the Americans seem to have a history of bombing the wrong targets.

Always.
