- If that holds for a week, US and Russia will partner up to tackle ISIS

- Kerry says this could end five years of bloodshed
- But some in Washington, DC aren't happy about a partnership with Russia
A landmark agreement will see the US and Russia teaming up to tackle the twin threats of ISIS and Al-Qaida, it has been announced. Both countries announced a ceasefire after a day-long meeting between secretary of state John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, concluded early Saturday morning in Geneva, Switzerland. If the ceasefire, which begins Monday, holds for a week, the two countries will then begin an unlikely military partnership to target Islamic extremists in the region.

Syria's Russia-backed government and US-backed rebels - on side
It's hoped the ceasefire, which begins at sundown Monday, will reduce bloodshed in the region, where 500,000 people have been killed.
At a joint news conference, Kerry said the plan could reduce violence in Syria and may lead to a long-sought-after political transition. It could also, he says, end more than five years of bloodshed that has claimed the lives of 500,000 people. Kerry called the deal a potential 'turning point' in the conflict - although it will require support from both Syria's Russian-backed government, led by President Bashar Assad, and US-supported anti-Assad rebels.

This is exactly what Trump envisioned and was accused of 'sucking up' to Putin.....it is exactly what Trump talked about.....an alliance between the two countries to fight
Islamic terrorism.....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
The difficulty is, I think, that any solution that gives power to the terrorist groups supported by the West will mean the murder of President Assad and all non-Sunni Syrians, probably leading to its occupation by Saudi Arabia.
