After rejecting in 2019 the Arab league request to ban the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, the Jordanian regime has now bowed down to external pressures and issued a ban on the Brotherhood.

Stability of an American protectorate is more crucial in the current context than ever.
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
