“It’s my deep belief that any actions to the contrary in order to destroy the legitimate government will create a situation which you can witness now in the other countries of the region or in other regions, for instance in Libya, where all the state institutions are disintegrated. We see a similar situation in Iraq……there is no other solution to the Syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism.”-Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

Police in NATO member Kingdom of Norway reports hundreds of refugees from Syria are flooding into their country via Russia.  The Syrians are given Russian travel visas in Syria, then once in Russia they head toward Norway.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports they’ve discovered that many of the children being forced to fight and die in Syria, by U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents, are actually from other countries.  They traced many child soldiers back to central Asia, specifically Kazakhstan and Turkistan.  Two DAESH (Islamic State) child soldiers reportedly executed two insurgents accused of being spies for Russia.  Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reports that many pro-government local militias (National Defense Forces) are using what they call cub-fighters, or young teenagers.  YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units) are also accused of using child soldiers, however it should be noted that ‘humanitarian’ groups consider anybody younger than 18 a child soldier, that means I was a child soldier in the U.S. Army back in 1982.  I joined the U.S. Army the day I turned 17 years old.  One of my grandfathers joined the USMC when he was 16.  I had relatives younger than that fighting in the War Between the States (U.S. Civil War).  What matters is if the ‘child’ is being forced or tricked into fighting, or did they join up of their own free will?

More details on that reported ceasefire agreement. It was brokered by Iranian and Turkish diplomats through the United Nations.  It involves only Lebanese Resistance Regiments (Hezbollah) and non-DAESH (Islamic State) insurgents operating along the border between Lebanon and Syria.  Apparently the fighters who agreed to the ceasefire are tired of fighting each other and want to leave the areas they’ve occupied.  It also allows wounded civilians to leave so they can get medical help, and releases 5-hundred POWs.
