Why were American soldiers in Jordan in the first place? - eviltoast

Everyone is talking about the American soldiers killed in Jordan. But I don’t know why they were there to begin with.

    This one is because “Fuck ISIS” and “Holy shit Syria is collapsing”.

    The world is a bit more complex than “fuck Iran”. Iran themselves improved their position against ISIS and Syria as well, because that’s a shitty situation. USA found itself within shooting distance of Syria (aka: Russia-backed), Iran, ISIS, and more. But we gotta protect our allies (aka: Kurds) who helped us out so much in Iraq, as well as Israel.

    Its genocides all the way down. Shia want to genocide Sunni. Sunni want to genocide Shia. They both want to genocide Kurds. They all want to genocide Israel.
