Is Jordan the single most irrelevant country in the world?
It hides in plain sight, neighboring Israel. It has some biblical and some Cold War history but it's utterly irrelevant. For example, everyone knows about Lebanon, a much smaller country. Lebanon's capital is Beirut, this is also known by most people. Lebanon has Hezbollah on the one hand and Christians on the other.
What the fuck does Jordan have? Does anyone even know the name of its capital city?
the King of Jordan right now was in an episode of Star Trek when he was just crown prince pretty based I don't feel like finding the screenshot of it tho
have lived there for 6 years its a shithole where the minimum wage is $300 but also its comfy in the sense that if you have a high foreign income you can live like a king also crime is rampant and you can get away with most white collar shit, in my 5 years there I paid zero income taxes

>The United States is Jordan's single largest provider of bilateral assistance, providing more than $1.65 billion in FY 2021, including over $1.197 billion appropriated by the U.S. Congress to Jordan through USAID in the 2021 fiscal year budget, and $425 million in State Department Foreign Military Financing funds. we are literally bribing Jordan to leave Israel alone

>everyone knows about Lebanon, a much smaller country hmmm I wonder why
Jordan it's the desert part of Palestine. There's not much there because all the shit was happening in Palestine. The capital city is Amman. It was literally deserted until the Palestinian refugees turned it into a city again. Most of the holy sites are actually in Jordan.
