    I am honestly surprised by how Jordan leadership are handling this compared to how Jordan citizens are handling this.

        They tried to burn down the embassy last month, a couple militia groups moving through Jordan to attack Israel, etc.

        TBH I understand and applaud Jordan officials for trying to reduce harm, as much as it pains me to say it.

          Jordan is like the sensible cousin.

          They show up to the wedding, have a good time.

      Its truly much easier to understand once you realize theyre still a british client kingdom that only exists due to american checks. You dont have health care because Jordan needs to serve as an airstrip and a buffer, else it would be swallowed by syria or saudi arabia.
