    It is simply his job to look after those, his own people, who elected him first, rather than looking after others first for whom he is not directly responsible and over whom he has no direct leadership.

      Do elaborate on how sending troops half way across the world to occupy a country illegally is looking after his own people. Can't wait for you to make it make sense.

          One little problem here is that Jordan states that the base is not in Jordan but in Syria where US is currently occupying a larger percentage of territory than Russia is in Ukraine

          Jordanian Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin said Sunday that the attack targeting U.S. forces near the Syrian border did not occur inside Jordan.

          Mubaidin told the state-run Al Mamlaka TV that the attack targeted the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria.

            These are two different bases. It is a contradiction in terms to say near the syrian border and in syria at the same time.

            Tower 22 which got attacked is in Jordan and potentially a supply post for the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria.
