Re: Syrian War
UN security council have adopted a 30 day ceasefire. To enable humanitarian aid to get through. We know what happened last time UN sent in humanitarian aid,.... they were blown up and they refused to go back in again.
The only problem with this resolution is that it does not include ISIL, Al Nusra or other terrorist groups.
It will give them chance to re-arm, re-group and possibly blow up humanitarian aid once again.
The issue with Russia is the pipeline going through Syria.
Israel have found gas in the Medi. and they want to pipe it through Syria to Turkey and then on to Europe. This will then cut off Russian supply to Europe and also Iran.
Turkey wants more land, (probably for this purpose). US wanting to partition Syria, Israel want to extend it's occupation of Golan Heights (oil there too) even though the international community have never recognised the Golan Heights as belonging to anywhere other than Syria.
UK and US have financially supported the White Helmets that are linked of Al Qaeda , ISIL, Al Nusra (which broke away from Al Qaeda ) FSA,(the breakaway group from the Syrian Arab Army , and various other terrorist groups have been paid and supported by the west.

President Trump has ended the clandestine American program to provide arms and supplies to Syrian rebel groups, American officials said, a recognition that the effort was failing and that the administration has given up hope of helping to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The decision came more than a month ago, the officials said, by which time the effort to deliver the arms had slowed to a trickle.
It was never publicly announced, just as the beginnings of the program four years ago were officially a secret, authorized by President Barack Obama through a “finding” that permitted the C.I.A. to conduct a deniable program. News of the troublesome program soon leaked out.
It joins similar failed efforts to deliver arms and money to groups seeking to overthrow governments that Washington found noxious, most famously the Kennedy administration’s disastrous effort to do away with the government of Fidel Castro in Cuba.
The White House had no comment. But the decision is bound to be welcomed by the Russians, whose military has backed Mr. Assad’s government and relentlessly attacked some of the rebel groups that the United States was supplying, under the guise of helping to eradicate terrorists.
