    You mean the ceasefire that was only ever mentioned in his rambling old man tweet? That one?

      The amount of 1 day accounts blasting that one ‘retruth’ yesterday… my blocklist grew, that’s for sure.

      I wonder if he actually got their representatives to try to negotiate anything, or if he literally just said there would be a cease fire in the hopes that the two sides would feel obligated to follow through once it was publicly announced.

        Call me a pessimist, but have a feeling the twelve hour ceasefire, that starts in both six and 24 hours (and lasts two weeks, probably) might have been made up.
