What? Who? Where?
What about the FMF? Ever heard of it?
FOREIGN MILITARY FUND?
think that's the correct wording.
Anyway, USA gave Israel over 30 billion US dollars as part of FMF just last year, been giving Israel help since the war with Egypt, around 50 years ago.
Anyway, if you're an American, there you go, the IRS will chase after ya for every dollar (if you owe) on your Income Tax, this, among others, is where they spent your money on, think...

Yeah, that's why I'm questioning it. I really don't think the Jordanian military, although nothing to sneeze at, is really capable of occupying or governing such a large mass of land/people. That is also to say nothing of Jordanian administrative capabilities.
And it also goes to Egypt. Mutual funding was one of the cornerstones of the peace treaty signed between the two, easing fears of one invading the other.

I think this explains everything if you are confused.
It stopped a nuclear war.

Aubrey missed the bit where Saudi Arabia is actually bombing IS (whom they really don't like). Basically, nobody likes IS.

That's because their 'child' whom they trained in their wahabbist schools is now misbehaving and needs to be punished somewhat for appearance sake.

Certain Islamic theologians claim that IS operates under a different kind of Islamic denomination known as Khawarji which is distinct from Sunnism and Shi'ism. You can look that up.

Well, Jordan is a real state with a legitimate monarch. Why not?

Before I go on, what does the king has to do with anything?

Well, monarchy is the best way to rule a country, especially if you need to do this colonial-style.

Don't be mean. A couple pet monarchists always keep the conversation interesting. They're like an endangered species.
They know exactly why they're endangered too, but that doesn't stop them!

Then pray tell, what makes monarchy such an inherently brilliant way of government?
