Russia and the US have agreed to a "cessation of hostilities" in Syria from sunset on 12 September after intensive talks in Geneva.

I hope Trump runs an ad with Hillary sucking up to the Russian President when she became SOS. You know, the clip with the ‘reset’ button that actually said ‘overcharge’ ? The Obama Admin REALLY wanted to get close with Russia.....now they are using Russia against Trump? Oh, the hypocrisy!

So the U.S. enters into an agreement to stop Russia from killing ISIS warriors? Typical Obama.

Everyone has to know this is waaaaay to the advantage of Russia and waaaaaay to the disadvantage of the U.S.. It’s just the latest attempt by our Failure in Chief at a l-e-g-a-c-y.
