Lavrov called the meeting "productive," while Kerry described it as "constructive."
"The contacts are bringing some result, but everything depends on the same issue, which is why the Americans had failed to fulfill our agreements with them, that is the differentiation between the so-called moderate opposition and Jabhat al-Nusra," Lavrov said.
"But, nonetheless, we will try to find a way out of this situation. I think John Kerry is sincerely interested in that."
A Trump administration would establish a "commission on radical Islam" that would include moderates from the Muslim community, with the task to explain what radical Islam is and how to fight it, the candidate said.American Muslims and the Presidential Election
While certainly a good number of Muslims voted for Hillary, many others were rooting for Trump in the run up to election day. The manager of the Facebook page 'Muslims for Trump' posted the following message a day before the election:A few people have said, I don't care much for Hillary, but I'm afraid Trump will start WWIII. This is because they haven't listened to the man, or heard only the same soundbite over and over again from the liberal media on the rare occasion he's actually emphasized hawkish rhetoric to appeal to a certain crowd.
This is *THE* non-interventionist candidate. Truth is, Trump wants a strong military, and a responsible and dignified treatment of our military... Right now, the US is in a Cold War with itself. Our foreign policy is in the political interests of banks and multinationals, our own country's geopolitical interests aren't even at the bottom of the priority list people.
Between the two of them, Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has explicitly threatened nuclear war against Russia in response to Guccifer (a Romanian!!) hacking the DNC. IT IS A ONE DAY CAR TRIP FROM BAGHDAD TO THE RUSSIAN BORDER (Look it up!). That's enough for you to know Russia wants a stable, peaceful, Middle East in its backyard, but Obama and the Clinton Crime Family are warring against Assad, arming terrorists, and antagonizing Russia in order to make billions of dollars off a pipeline for the Qataris.
We're proud of who we are. Let Russians be Russians. Let Iraqis be Iraqis, let Americans be American. But we also have to share a world together. Sorry Crooked Hillary, there's a little thing in the bible called "neighbors." Clinton said, you can't have snakes in your back yard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. We've got a snake trying to get into the white house folks, and she isn't pretty.
General Flynn dismissed Al Jazeera's supposition that the US administration "turned a blind eye" to the DIA's analysis. Flynn believes the US government didn't listen to his agency on purpose. "I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision," the former DIA chief said.From the bottom to the top of the military, personnel are disgusted and demoralized by the fact that special forces are training the next generation of jihadis. (See: US Special Forces hate Syrian mission: "Nobody believes in it, everyone on the ground knows they are jihadis") That would never have changed under Clinton. With Trump as president, there's at least a fighting chance it will.
The classified DIA report presented in August 2012, stated that "the Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI [Al- Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria," being supported by "the West, Gulf countries and Turkey."

Al Jazeera notes that Lieutenant General Michael Flynn became "the highest ranking intelligence official to go on record," saying the US and other states, notably Turkey and the Gulf Arab states, were sponsoring Al-Qaeda-led rebels in Syria with political support and weapons in an attempt to overthrow President Bashar Assad.
Yeah, Vlad, get a move on! What's taking you so long, huh?! Geez, you're no good; here, let me take over...Beware commentators riling up people by telling statesmen how things 'ought' to be done...
