    News outlets like to pretend that cessation of further attacks is failure. We started the war with a Tomahawk missile which killed 168 people, more than 100 school children. Destroyed apartments, hospitals, bridges, water supply. Continuing that shit would have been a success? A victory?

      You’re presenting a false binary where this MOU and continuing the conflict, as it is, are the only options.

        Not really, because he describes an escalation, which is the third option. As in there are 2 ways to continue the war, status quo or escalation, and the alternative to those is the peace agreement.

          There are other peace agreements available. A continued engagement would be more likely to generate them, too.
