If the ceasefire holds? I can't see that as being an option. There is widespread consensus that this has been one of the worst ongoing conflicts in the world, and one where there was considerable pessimism about it coming to any kind of quick conclusion.

If the ceasefire holds, and over time the conflict appears to have resolved, he'd deserve it. I might smh with chagrin, but I'd also be very happy to shake my head with chagrin in this case. It'd be worth it.

Crossing my fingers.
