MESOP HEUTE : AUS PUTIN’S SICHT SCHREIBT „sputnik“ news – Amerikanischer General bekennt: USA befinden sich unrechtmäßig in Syrien
Sputnik 23 July 2017 – Die USA haben keine rechtliche Grundlage, in Syrien zu bleiben, wo sie ohne die Genehmigung von Damaskus eine Militäroperation gegen die Terroristen führen. Dies erklärte am Freitag der Chef des Kommandos für Sonderoperationen der US-Streitkräfte, General Raymond Thomas, beim Sicherheitsforum in Aspen im US-Bundesstaat Colorado.
„Der Tag ist nicht mehr fern, wo die Russen sagen werden: ‚Warum seid ihr, die USA, immer noch in Syrien?‘ Sie waren dem schon nahe … Wir sind berechtigt dorthin (nach Syrien – Anm. d. Red.) gegangen, doch wenn die Russen diese Karte ausspielen, so werden wir, wenn wir bleiben wollen, dies nicht tun können. Sie (die Russische Föderation – Anm. d. Red.) kann dies tun“, sagte General Thomas.Er erinnerte daran, dass die einzige Begründung für den Aufenthalt des US-Militärs in Syrien der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus sei. In diesem Zusammenhang lehne es Washington ungeachtet der Proteste der Landesbehörden ab, seine Operationen einzustellen.

America Had Already Lost Its Covert War in Syria—Now It’s Official
MESOP NEWS OPINION: WHATEVER HAPPENS NOW – U.S. IS OUT !
July 21, 2017 – Sam Heller – THE CENTURY FOUNDATION
President Trump has shut down America’s covert program to arm and train Syrian rebels fighting the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Trump decided to terminate the secret CIA program nearly a month ago, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. The program had, since 2013, provided training, salaries, and weaponry to “vetted” rebel factions waging war on the Assad regime.America has definitively ended its commitment to regime change in Syria—half-hearted though it was.Trump’s decision is, on some level, an admission of defeat. But it is also a concession to reality, and an acknowledgement that America’s covert military program in Syria was misconceived from the start.
MESOP NEWS : IRAN & IT’S PROXIES WIN / ARSAL: THE LAST HURDLE TO HEZBOLLAH’S SAFE ZONE
By Hanin Ghaddar – PolicyWatch 2836 – July 21, 2017 – Hanin Ghaddar, a veteran Lebanese journalist and researcher, is the Friedmann Visiting Fellow at The Washington Institute.
Absent vigorous international complaints, Hezbollah will force Syrian refugees out of eastern Lebanon to face certain persecution from the Assad regime. With a reported force of five thousand fighters, Hezbollah has launched its long-anticipated offensive against militants in the Arsal and Qalamoun mountains, along the Lebanon-Syria border. The Syrian air force is aiding the effort by intensifying its strikes against militants around Arsal, on both sides of the border, while coordinating with Hezbollah and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). The Lebanese army is so far limiting its role to stopping militants from infiltrating into Lebanon.
