Anyways, Putin’s initiative saved the day. It at the very least allowed Assad to sit pretty and tight for another day.

The expression is to “fight for another day”, but as Assad is mostly fighting his own people, I don’t want that kind of fight to continue.

Not at all.

Alright, enough geo-politics. Phew! Talking about these people makes me feel so tired. Must be tiresome for you, too.

At least you’ve learned a useful phrase today. And in that sense, Putin’s initiative saves the day, after all.

Here are more media examples of “save the day”:

1. A residential sprinkler system saved the day for an east end resident whose apartment caught fire recently, Brampton Fire and Emergency Services reports.

Fire crews were called to the third floor apartment at 4 Dayspring Circle on Thursday, Aug. 3 at 10:42 p.m. When they arrived, they found that the fire, which started in the kitchen and was cooking-related, had been extinguished by the activation of a single fire sprinkler head.

The lone occupant of the apartment escaped unharmed, and property damage was minimal, according to Brian Maltby, the city’s division chief, fire prevention.

“The sprinkler head activation held the fire in check until the firefighters could arrive and resulted in very little fire or smoke damage,” Maltby said.
