The recent policy update under Brig. Gen. David R. Everly reversed a 2022 rule". This “rule” is very new and was likely found to harm wartime readiness after trying it out.
Likely according to what evidence? You’re making an assumption here. I have zero reason to assume good faith with Trump and Hegseth changing anything right now, why should you?
WHY did he get this job?
If the roles were reversed, Republicans would be cynically asking who he slept with to get this job. He’s clearly not a wealthy donor.
Even the Israeli left parties (and Ha’aretz is on the left) supports war on Iran even if they were less supportive of the genocide in Gaza. They still have a bias.
Iran would not do that, but you raise an important point about how insanely vulnerable the US is to actual biological attacks.
Could you imagine the US government trying to get Americans to get an anthrax vaccine after a weapon attack?
Jordan is like Switzerland? LOL. You can’t stop giving excuses. Meanwhile Israeli far right is already talking about annexing more of Jordan.
لن أقنعك. السلام عليكم.
Influencing public opinion is not part of a prosecution’s mission. Their mission is to seek justice and win in court. (Edit: contrary to below, it’s supposed to be overall about justice, which is why prosecutors have discretion to not try cases and have other roles like support of victims)
Trying to influence the public is actually BAD for prosecutors since it can bias a jury pool and cause a court to grant a change of venue.
Jordan is not involved
Then you proceed to explain how Jordan IS involved and justify it.
have to do something to at least to mitigate the risks that Jordan is facing to protect Jordanian cities and assets.
By downing Iranian missiles and letting the debris hit Jordan instead of letting them leave Jordanian airspace.
I seriously don’t understand what people like you think should happen
Stay out of it and don’t invite the US military in (hence making yourself a target), don’t let US military use your airspace, don’t protect Israel, don’t intervene. This isn’t hard. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.
Israel claims it’s legal to assassinate scientists. So is this legal?
And both groups suffer. Too bad one is prosecuted more than the other; that imbalance worsens the problem.
Some racists don’t want the holiday, simply because of what it’s celebrating.
Baloney. This is still Jordan taking action to help Israel in order to please Trump, because the king is trying to get Trump’s help on a variety of issues. I’m judging them based on their actions, and you’re trying to say that their intentions are good despite all else.
Your defense is that by bashing Palestinians, so that means Jordan should help Israel crush them. Then strawmanning me by saying that going to war with Israel is a bad idea. There’s a LOT of options in between.
What will come of this? Not impeachment.
You think Jordanians care more about an abstract concept of sovereignty than over their literal Palestinian brothers being genocided?
The king can use this excuse as much as he wants but we know it’s because of US pressure.
Last time 300 missiles overwhelmed Israel’s defenses and they needed US and Jordanian support to take out most of the attack. Both sides learned from the last skirmish.
Well the US started pulling personnel out of the area before the attack and Israel is saying the US helped coordinate the attack.
Because Trump watches TV all day and that’s what he measures success by.
Iran was planning a massive response, but Israel sabotaged them by blowing up the military command meeting and drone striking missiles sites. Instead of 300 Missiles launched in response it was only 100.
It was delayed by appeals.
Isn’t it obvious? President Xi publicly ordered the Chinese military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2026.
We are uniquely vulnerable now.
Imagine a biological weapons attack on the US. Do you think RFK would support giving out the anthrax vaccine after an attack? Would Americans even do it if the government recommended it?
What about telling people to lock down for bird flu?
