MESOP TODAYS COMMENTARY BY JAMES JEFFREY
TURKEY’S ROOM TO MANEUVER AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
By James F. Jeffrey – Cipher Brief – September 16, 2016 – Tensions between the U.S. and Turkey have been on the rise, beginning with different priorities over Syria and ISIS, and then ham-handed American reactions to, and Turkish accusations of, U.S. involvement in the failed July 15 Turkish coup. Unsurprisingly, this has raised the question, can the U.S. rely on Turkey? Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=78366

MESOP TODAYS OPINION : IRAQ’S REGIONAL DECENTRALISATION DEBATE IS HEATING UP
By Michael Knights – Al Jazeera – September 18, 2016 – Michael Knights is a Lafer Fellow with The Washington Institute.
As the battle for Mosul looms, however, national fragility may require postponing larger boundary-drawing initiatives. The decentralisation of security, spending and administrative power is regularly cited as a means of reducing tension in a post-Islamic State Iraq. The logic is commendable: If Sunnis and Kurds are freer to manage their own affairs, then they will have more stake in cooperation with Baghdad, and there will be less room for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) to operate along the tense dividing lines between central Iraq and the northern and western peripheries.
Easy to say, harder to do. In decentralisation, the devil is in the detail. How much input should Baghdad versus local actors have in the recruitment of local security forces? Which spending should ministries versus provincial councils control? How much money will be sent to the local level? And who controls the oil? Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=78368

By Matthew Levitt – Foreign Policy – September 21, 2016 – America’s latest terrorist incident shows why the preferred metaphor to describe such attacks is usually a contradiction in terms.
22 Sep 2ß16 – It was no surprise that in the first hours after the New York and New Jersey bombing attacks, the culprit was widely suggested to be a “lone wolf.” The term, used to describe an individual inspired by others but acting on his or her own, has become the counterterrorism metaphor-of-choice in the age of the Islamic State. It’s time, however, to put the lone-wolf metaphor, and its associated counterterrorism analysis, out to pasture Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=78381

UPDATE 0630 GMT: The opposition Syrian National Coalition has welcomed John Kerry’s statement for the grounding of military flights, but cautioned, “This won’t be achieved by deals with Russia, which has shown a consistent willingness to violate deals and to flagrantly violate international law.” The Coalition appealed for a “no-bomb zone”for all of Syria, and putting “credible force back on the table” to deter the Assad regime.

MESOP : STRUKTUR & TECHNIK DER RUSSISCHEN DESINFORMATIONSKAMPAGNE ZUR GEZIELTEN VERWIRRUNG ÜBER DEN EIGENEN ANGRIFF AUF EINEN HILFSKONVOI DER VEREINTEN NATIONEN (UN)
22 Sep 2016 – MESOP – Geschieht etwas Gravierendes, das Russland in schlechtem Licht erscheinen lässt, ist der Apparat gefordert. Ministerien und Medien arbeiten zusammen, um alternative Erzählstränge zu verbreiten. Sie können und sollen einander widersprechen. Ziel ist es, Verwirrung zu stiften und den Eindruck zu erwecken, die Wahrheit könne nicht ans Licht kommen, weil „alle lügen”.
So war es nach dem Abschuss von MH17 über der Ostukraine, als derselbe Vertreter des Verteidigungsministeriums binnen weniger Minuten zwei Versionen präsentierte: Das ukrainische Militär habe das Flugzeug mit einer Boden-Luft-Rakete abgeschossen, und ein ukrainisches Kampfflugzeug sei es gewesen. Ein ähnliches Vorgehen ist nun mit Blick auf das Schicksal des UN-Hilfskonvois am Montagabend südwestlich von Aleppo zu beobachten. Während es aus Washington heißt, wahrscheinlich habe die russische Luftwaffe den Konvoi angegriffen, standen am Mittwoch drei russische Versionen im Raum: unabsichtliches Artilleriefeuer; absichtlicher Beschuss aus einem Granatwerfer; Brandstiftung, jeweils durch Gegner des Verbündeten Baschar al Assad.
