Today
is a day when there will be a lot of commentary on the ceasefire
agreed on by Putin and Trump – except for those who want to
distract us.
Here
is some commentary from some of my favourite people. It’s really
like a list of people I’d like to invite for a dinner party.
“Russia
and Putin are isolated”
First
off is Putin’s G20 press conference where he is asked about his
impressions of Trump
First
and foremost among the voices I trust is Professor Stephen F. Cohen
who only comments on things he has studied. Good policy!
Ex-
CIA analyst, Ray McGovern tempers his enthusiasm with caution
Trump
and Putin Agree on Syria, But Will Pentagon Go Along?
Loud
and Clear
On
today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined by Jane
Cutter, editor of LiberationNews.org; by Ray McGovern, activist and
former CIA analyst; and by journalist Ben Norton.
Donald
Trump and Vladimir Putin have met for the first time on the sidelines
of the G20 Summit. The meeting comes a day after Trump called on
Russia to end what he called ‘destabilizing activities’, and
referred to a clash of civilizations. But the two leaders have
reached an agreement to establish a ceasefire in southwestern Syria.

then there are the ones who are not commentators but journalists

With
a ceasefire in southwestern Syria in the works, meeting proves
diplomacy beats demonization
From
the start, the “positive chemistry” in the Mother of All
Sit-Downs was a given. The format – with only the four principals,
Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and two translators – prevented any
leaks. What was originally scheduled for 35 minutes went on for 2
hours and 16 minutes, and not even an impromptu appearance by First
Lady Melania Trump – they were late for the Elbphilharmonie pomp
and circumstance – managed to stop the flow.
They
needed to deliver. They needed headlines. They got plenty. Including
a possible first step at real cooperation; a ceasefire deal in
southwestern Syria. Yet the real headline is that diplomacy beats
demonizati
on.

President
Trump no doubt means well in trying to Broker a cease fire in Syria
with Russia, but clearly the Cease Fire does not benefit the Syrian
people nor their leader President Bashar al Assad. The Cease fire is
only in the South East of the country where the Syrian Army was
retaking the land from ISIS and al Queda. This cease fire will allow
regrouping rearming for future attack on the Capital
