MESOP NEWS TODAYS RELEVANT COMMENTARY : Iran and Turkey: A new round of an ancient rivalry
By David Batashvili – The author worked for the National Security Council of Georgia in 2008-2013.
01 February 2017 21:41 – Much of the regional international developments in the Middle East will probably be defined by their rivalry. The two most prominent local players in the complex Middle Eastern game are Iran and Turkey. It is their strategies that will define the political future of this region in the coming decades. Inevitably, sometimes these strategies will be in direct contradiction with each other. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=82563

MESOP NEWS TODAYS RECOMMENDATION : Iran’s New Way of War in Syria
-By Paul Bucala – February 3, 2017 THE IRAN TRACKER – By: Paul Bucala at the Critical Threats Project
Executive Summary: Iran is transforming its military to be able to conduct quasi-conventional warfare hundreds of miles from its borders. This capability, which very few states in the world have, will fundamentally alter the strategic calculus and balance of power within the Middle East. It is not a transitory phenomenon. Iranian military leaders have rotated troops from across the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Artesh, and Basij into Syria in order to expose a significant portion of its force to this kind of operation and warfare. Iran intends to continue along the path of developing a conventional force-projection capability. Click for graphix and pdf document http://www.mesop.de/?p=82541

MESOP TODAYS SPECIAL : EU/MERKEL ERECTING WALLS AGAINST MIGRANTS & REFUGEES IN SOUTH LIBYA AGAINST ALL AFRICA / WHILE PUTIN TAKES OVER LIBYA
4 Febr 2017 – “Libya is in the midst of a civil war, with three rival ‘governments’ competing for control of law enforcement bodies. Even with the help of UNHCR/IOM officials, it is madness to expect Libya to be able to implement the EU’s plans. The EU has already made this mistake when deciding to extend Operation Sophia (the anti-smuggling operation in the Mediterranean) to Libyan waters, upon approval of the Libyan government. Unsurprisingly, the approval never came. As such, rather than being resettled in Libya or repatriated to their countries of origin, it is far more likely that migrants brought back to Libya will end up in detention centres,” Mattia Toaldo writes for the European Council on Foreign Relations. “Having cemented Russia’s role as the dominant belligerent against a pro-Western Ukraine, where the half-frozen conflict in the east has flared up in the past week, and in Syria where a fragile ceasefire has taken hold with Moscow’s ally Bashar al-Assad still in power, President Vladimir Putin has turned his attention to Libya. For Europe, this raises the worrying prospect that Russia could gain control over the flow of migrants across the central Mediterranean, giving Putin leverage to destabilize Europe by unleashing a flood of refugees like the exodus from Syria that caused a crisis in Europe in 2015,” Jacopo Barigazzi and David M. Herszenhorn write for Politico Europe.

MESOP NEWS : DONALD T. IST NICHT HITLER – SONDERN EIN GEWALTIGER VERTRETER DES LIBERALEN FINANZKAPITALS
- GARY COHN TUMPS HAUPT-FINANZBESCHAFFER & WIRTSCHAFTSBERATER & DIE ANDEREN GOLDMÄNNER –
Kommentar – Trump entfesselt die Banken
Es gibt tatsächlich gute Gründe, die Finanzregulierung umfassend zu reformieren. Aber bald können die Banken, die größer sind als je zuvor, so frei schalten und walten wie lange nicht mehr.
03.02.2017, von Winand von Petersdorff, Washington – FAZ – Donald Trump will die unter Obama beschlossenen Regeln zur Bankenregulierung wieder rückgängig machen. Im Wahlkampf hatte es zuweilen so geklungen, als wolle Donald Trump mit seiner Anti-Wall-Street-Rhetorik Linksaußen Bernie Sanders von links überholen. Investmentbanker und Hedgefondsmanager kämen ungeahndet davon, während der hart arbeitende Normalbürger auf der Strecke bleibe, rief er seinen Anhängern zu. Doch schon als ein ehemaliger Goldman-Sachs-Manager Trumps zentraler Geldbeschaffer im Wahlkampf wurde, hätte man misstrauisch werden können. Den Mann hat Trump jetzt als Finanzminister nominiert.

MESOP BACKGROUNDER: MERKELS ANTI-AFRIKA MAUER / WÄHREND PUTIN LIBYEN ÜBERNIMMT – DER GEHEIME BESUCH GENERAL HAFTAR’S AUF „ADMIRAL KUSNEZOW“ –
- MERKEL LÄSST ANTI-MIGRATIONSWALL IN LIBYEN BAUEN / GRENZWALL ZU NIGER / VERHANDLUNGEN MIT LIBYSCHEN WARLORDS –
4 Febr 2017 – FAZ – (…) General Haftar ist in einer guten Verhandlungsposition, denn er hat einen einflussreichen Unterstützer gewonnen: den russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin. Für diesen steht Libyen einerseits für eine angeblich vom Westen angezettelte „Farbenrevolution”, andererseits für die Schwäche seines zeitweiligen Statthalters im Präsidentenamt Dmitrij Medwedjew, der dafür sorgte, dass Russland die Resolution zur Militärintervention des UN-Sicherheitsrats nicht per Veto verhinderte. Durch den Sturz des Gaddafi-Regimes soll Moskau Rüstungs-, Energie- und Infrastrukturverträge im Umfang von mindestens vier Milliarden Dollar verloren haben.
Inzwischen steht Libyen für das Scheitern der westlichen Widersacher und erscheint mithin als Ort, um Russlands geopolitischen Einfluss ausweiten zu können. Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=82539
