MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : – NONE OTHER THAN DONALD TRUMP SHELTERS, FINANCES AND PROTECTS SYRIAN SDF (PKK/PYD)Who Benefits from a U.S. Oil Deal in Northeast Syria?

Upon each of my past arrivals in Syria, I’ve entered into landscapes of rolling hillocks and oil wells. Stippled across the land, some wells toiled slowly while others—rusted and abandoned—lay motionless, languishing along the buckled pavement of northeastern roads leading toward the city of Qamishlo. Reminiscent of the Texas Panhandle, these areas appeared sometimes like a mirror-image of America’s oil-rich heartland (minus the windmills).

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS REPORT : HOW PKK/PYD FORCES DESTROY AND UNDERMINE CHANCES FOR KURDISH UNITY IN SYRIA

The Gordian knot of Kurdish unity talks in Syria

MENA Source by Rena Netjes and Lars Hauch 23 Sept   2020

On September 20, US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffrey visited northeast Syria for a meeting with delegations of the Kurdish National Council (KNC), the Democratic Union Party (PYD), and allied Kurdish parties who have been engaging in so-called unity talks since November 2019.

Hailed as a historical step” towards greater understanding and cooperation, the US-sponsored process still suffers from longstanding rifts between the two sides. Yet, two days before Jeffrey’s visit, the PYD apparently accepted a US proposal for equal power sharing in an envisaged joint political body for northeast Syria. This concession displays the US’s bargaining power, but an overall deal is still far away.

MESOPOTAMIA  NEWS FOCUS MID-EAST: In Turkey, Palestinian leaders announce breakthrough on unity, elections

Fatah and Hamas appear to have deals on a unified approach and elections, following Israel’s normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

Daoud Kuttab – AL MONITOR  Sep 25, 2020 – The positive atmosphere engendered by the Fatah-Hamas agreement announced after their Sept. 24 meeting in the Palestinian Embassy in Istanbul is the product of a slow but serious behind-the-scenes effort. But the success ultimately was the result of the political environment and the personal chemistry between two Palestinians.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS: FRANKFURTS ÖDE CITY VERÖDET WEITER: BÖRSENSAAL LEER – OPERNHAUS LEER – HOTELS SCHLIESSEN DAUERHAFT en masse – KARSTADT / GALERIA DEMNÄCHST ! City Maut & Fahrverbote vertreiben Menschen an die Peripherien

Hessischer Hof : Pulsschlag und Taktgeber – Kommentar von Sandra Kegel FAZ – -25.09.2020-17:52

Wo Tag und Nacht der „Schakal“ lauerte: Wo einst die Agenten durch die Flure schlichen: Mit dem Hessischen Hof schließt auch eine wichtige Außenstelle der Frankfurter Buchmesse.

„So wichtig sind die Messehallen der Frankfurter Buchmesse gar nicht – what matters is Jimmy’s.“ Ausgesprochen hat diese Liebeserklärung an die verrauchte Kellerbar des Hessischen Hofs mit ihrer besänftigenden Klaviermusik und dem bis zuletzt strengen Dresscode einst ein amerikanischer Verleger, als er sich zu vorgerückter Stunde mit Whisky und Cohiba wohlig erschöpft in einen der lederbespannten Fauteuils fallen ließ. Tatsächlich war das Fünf-Sterne-Hotel vis-à-vis des Messegeländes mitsamt seinem gediegenen Foyer und den verwinkelten Veranstaltungsräumen während dieser fünf tollen Tage im Oktober stets das so diskret wie verlässlich schlagende Herz des Literaturbetriebs.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : KOMMUNISTISCHE PARTEI DER VOLKSREPUBLIK ROT CHINA – DIE WELTGEFAHR VON LINKS !

Trump spricht vom „China-Virus“? Recht hat er! – Totalitarismus  – „Das eigentliche Problem ist Merkels China-Politik“

Stand: 25.09.2020 | DIE WELT –  Von Alan Posener

Die hohe Zahl der Corona-Opfer in den USA wird für Präsident Donald Trump im Wahlkampf zunehmend zur Belastung. Lautstark will er China die Schuld für die Pandemie geben. Die Demokraten machen ihm Vorwürfe.

Es kann keinen Zweifel daran geben, dass die KP Chinas eine große Schuld trifft. Als die Krankheit in Wuhan ausbrach, versuchten die Behörden zunächst, sie zu vertuschen. Warum also nicht „China-Virus“? Vielleicht, weil man grundsätzlich alles, was Trump macht, ablehnt?

In manchen Kreisen herrscht Empörung, weil Donald Trump vom „China-Virus“ spricht statt von Corona oder Covid-19.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS OPINION :  Iran’s Missiles are the Real Threat

Seth J. Frantzman , Executive director, Middle East Center for Reporting and Analysis
On 9/25/20 at 1:09 PM EDT – NEWSWEEK

Iran’s missile program is the elephant in the room in discussions about renewed U.S. sanctions on Tehran. This month the Trump administration sought to snap back sanctions on Iran, a demand that has been met with a cold shoulder by Russia, China and even U.S. allies in Europe. While the main point of contention has generally been Iran’s nuclear program, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has indicated that Iran’s ballistic missile threat is also a major target of U.S. sanctions.
