Yes, a ceasefire would be "the only way out of this mess" if the US was sincere and able to enforce the necessary terms of separation of "moderates" but all information is that it will not or cannot, because true "moderates" are completely insignificant and the US knows that it is counting pretenders. Even that is giving the US the benefit of doubt that it ever knew rebels who could be reliably called moderate. The US packing in of tripwire forces and SAMs and threats against Russia show complete lack of intent to negotiate.
A ceasefire would require the US to abandon its false claims of "moderate" rebels and get its forces out of there. It will not do that, because the goals of its oligarchy are to defeat Russia for commercial gain, topple yet another socialist state, and get Israeli bribes, none of which it can admit.
So the US merely delays through the election, allowing the next corrupt admin to take aggressive action or back down. Meanwhile state media will promote US false flags, wild accusations against Russia and Syria, etc.
