US Asks Russia to Not Hit Nusra Front (al-Qaeda) in Syria, Moscow Says

Russia's foreign minister said Washington has asked Moscow not to target the al-Qaida's branch in Syria, the Nusra Front, but the U.S. insisted Friday that it only wants Russia to carefully select it targets to avoid hitting civilians and legitimate opposition groups.

Sergey Lavrov said that Russia has long insisted that the moderate, U.S.-backed opposition groups should leave the areas occupied by Nusra. He said in televised remarks that Russia and the U.S. have engaged in close dialogue on how to secure a cease-fire in Syria, but added that fighting the Islamic State group and Nusra should be a top priority.

"They are telling us not to hit it (Nusra), because there is 'normal' opposition next .. to it," Lavrov said. "But that opposition must leave terrorists' positions, we long have agreed on that."

That you bring up Montenegro, a gangster state -
Posted by a Putinista - LoL!
You think the NATO will trust Montenegro with any military secrets? And if so how fast will those secrets be sold to Moscow?
I am sure the Russian Terror State can get all the secrets they need levels above tiny Montenegro.

Is what I posted about Montenegro wrong? How is it a statement of pride in NATO that a gangster state is in NATO?

Anyone with an ounce of sense would agree with this.

There is ISIS (as if people didn’t know this?) but not given over to. You should tone down your fanatical self consuming hatred to something closer to reality or be recognized as nothing but a waste of time.

Yes it was about NATO because Montenegro is joining the expanding NATO you said should go to hell. But should go to hell, but oh look, it is expanding.

Funny you keep calling Montenegro, who are reforming after decades in the real gangster circle of Putin’s a gangster state, a gangster state.

Sorry you were expecting something better from Russia.

NATO made the world more unsafe by handing Bosnia and Kosovo and Libya to al-Qaeda. Putin made the world safer resisting NATO in Syria. Putin, leader of the free world tm

There is al-Qaeda but it is a lie to say Bosnia and Kosovo and Libya are handed over to them. NATO is not operating in Syria. Putin is a murderer and pariah of the West (no tm needed, open license).

I’ll let you return to your festivities.

During the Cold War NATO kept the world safer but post Cold War NATO made the world less safe because it looked for job security. Russia made the world more safe in resisting it.

Thank you, Putin, leader of the free world, for stopping Obama and his NATO allies from bombing Syria on behalf of al-Qaeda.

How Kosovo Was Turned Into Fertile Ground for ISIS

I personally would like to thank the Serbian people for killing these Albanians and I apologize that my country as part of NATO bombed you and stopped your good work.

What did Putin do during The Cold War? Threatened to kill Germans which is always the correct thing to do.

Putin is giving free land in the East. In a desperate bid from keeping the Chinese from doing what he does with seizing control by population.

Maybe you are interested Apologinator?
