We may not be going into WW3 with Russia over Syria after all.

Apparently most news outlets don't really like this idea, but I do. and I'm sure a lot of people not connected to the military industrial complex do. Now, getting into WW3 with China over N Korea might still be a thing, but at least this is progress. One of the few good things Trump has done since taking office.

WWIII over Syria wasn't going to happen anyway. Neither country has interests so large there that might have justified open conflict with each other. Even shoot-downs didn't cause nuclear war at the height of the Cold War.

Not to piss on the parade guys,

But how many ceasefires have there been in Syria?
"Ceasefire" is Arabic for "time to reload."

This is actually the first time I've heard of a ceasefire. If there have been others, and it never worked out, then maybe this news isn't as big as I thought.

I guess this would explain why it isn't headline news.

I don't think we were ever in danger of WWIII with Russia over Syria. I'm more concerned with North Korea and China.

WW3...with Russia? A country with a GDP less than a US state? It would be the shortest world war in history. That's the big lie...the one Putin tries hard to peddle. That Russia, on it's own and by it's own merit..is still a credible threat to anyone. A powerful state. It's not. Those days are gone. We're a threat to ourselves...and Russia can use that...but that place, itself is a rinkydink shithole with a cartoon version of the mafia calling the shots.
The only credible candidates for WW3 anymore are the US, the EU, and China. Look at that list. Allies whose fates are almost inextricably intertwined. China isn't even going to come riding in over N. Korea...in all likelihood...they'll be the ones to eventually bitchslap the shit out of them. They have more reason to than we do.
Sure, it;s a matter of time until some asshole detoinates a nuke somewhere (or worse........a massively virulent bioweapon)...and that might have seemed like a WW3 scenario at the end of WW2...or during the cold war. Now, it;ll just be a horrible act of terrorism or aggression by a pariah state. Dealt with immediately by the global community, if for no other reason, than their own self interests.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

China is the much larger danger, I think. Their activities in the South China Sea are much more provocative that the odd test launch from an attention-whore of a nation. They play angry at the NoKors for being ugly, but are happy that our attention is diverted from the Spratley Islands and their own artificial islands, over which we flew two B-1s last week.
North Korea, on the other hand, has a regime worried about maintaining its role in that society, which role would be destroyed by even a conventional war.
