Jordanians are coming to the same conclusion that others in the region also have drawn: Hosting US bases endangers the country's security! (IMO, both the region and the US will be better off by having the region take responsibility for its own security and US troops coming home.)
"Hundreds of Jordanian political, legal and other figures signed an open letter last week calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Jordan in a rare public challenge to the government."
“We maintain that their presence exposes Jordan to security, political, and economic risks that serve no national interest and increases the likelihood of our country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party,” the letter said.

It’s one thing to read &understand the sickness of colonizers of the past - we can understand it, recoil &sense the depth and breadth of their barbarity as much as history allows. And then we close the books.
But to witness it, in all of its callousness and cruelty, like this?
💢 WATCH: The armed Israeli settler raiding Tel, near Nablus, was not shot until he first raised his weapon and charged at Palestinian man Faroukh Ramadan, aiming the weapon directly at him. A scuffle broke out, but even after Ramadan disarmed the armed Israeli, he did not shoot until the settler appears to pull out a second handgun and again aim it at Ramadan. The weapon is visible in the black-clad settler’s right hand.
