How much has Jordan been getting bribed to play nice, and for how long?

An excellent report as always, Shervan; As a Palestinian living in Jordan, here are some extra insights: -Water security is a huge problem, Israel diverts most of the Jordan river, the country is heavily reliant on subterrainial water bodies, which are drying up, fast, we already import a large portion of our water supply from Israel. -There is nearly no political scene, the king appoints the prime minister and the senate, people only get to elect parliament members, the parliament has very little power, voter turnout is usually less than 30%, and most people (in my experience) believe the elections are rigged. -The trick in international affairs is not to commit too much, for example Saudi Arabia pressures us to cut ties with Qatar, first we elicit some form of payment, then take our relationship with Qatar down a notch, not completely cutting ties, see, getting paid without committing too much, now if Qatar pays us enough, we flip flop, and on and on. -Israel is actually responsible for the US aid Jordan receives, if Jordan behaves well, Tel-Aviv lobbies Washington to send us more aid, also I suspect Israel will be the biggest loser if the Jordanian regime collapses, too much mess, too many Palestinians, too close to Israel, Tel-Aviv doesn't want to take that risk. -The government invests heavily in education and healthcare, people from other Arab states travel here for treatment, which is a huge, vital boost to the economy, also we have a lot of foreign students in our universities, probably around 10%, who are usually charged 3 or 4 times higher than the locals, and that's how we fund our universities. -Jordan imports a lot of labour from Egypt. -Jordan hasn't fully recovered from the first Gulf war, as Saddam fought Iran, Iran shut the Hurmuz strait, all Iraqi goods had to come from Jordan, this was the period with the highest economic growth in the country's history, the economy was built around transporting stuff to Iraq, Saddam is still very popular here to this day, you'll find his portraits everywhere.

As a Jordanian myself I tell you that your comment has many lies and fabrications. The latest election was not rigged nor do many people believe so. They were overseen by international observers who confirmed they were both free and fair. The voter turnout in the 2016 elections was at 37% and it is more about lack of interest rather than lack of faith in the system. Jordan has had the shittiest relationship with Israel over the past 6 years and we still receive 1.25$ billion in foreign aid from the US every year. The majority of the university's incomes is funded with tax payer's money from the government and you can look up that information yourself online.

@@matansatire1803 pffffff you are an idiot, for the aid it is all about balance. If anyone exerts too much pressure on the regime, it could crack or collapse which will open the hell's doors on israel and the US struggle with maintaining control over the middle east. For the relationship, it has just worsened over the settlements, if the israelis were to back down on the settlements annexation, then the jordanian regime would rush to stregnthen the relation. For the election, everyone in the country knows that neither the oligarchs nor the people have control over the elections but rather the intelligence systems of the regime. Either way, with the high degree of corruption and bureaucratic mess, the parlaiment and the government, without the support of either the oligarchs or the royal court can't change anything. So it really does mot matter who gets to the government and the parliament.

What an uncomfortable situation Jordan is in: at the mercy of everyone else and exists only because everyone else form a collective stalemate.

Israel is not gonna stop existing it doesn't matter what all Arabs want. Even if they were to invade Israel today they would get annihilated, it is just a fact the technological gap and the fact Israel can nuke all of them a few times over is more than enough. Also as proven, aside from Jordan and Egypt Arab countries cant field a proper army that is not used to repress dissidents. The entire goal of the military in Iraq and Syria is more to keep tribes in check then to defend their territorial integrity, they don't have the proper structure or doctrine to fight a real war. Unless it is the case of fighting a tinny neighbour such as Kuwait.

As an Israeli, I can 100% confirm that the term "Frienemies" is a perfect description of the Israeli-Jordanian relations. Regarding the "Friends" part of the "Frienemies" relations, aside the diplomatic ties there are also economic and tourism relations and citizens of both countries can visit each other with visas being given upon entry with no need to request it in advance (I actually have quite a few friends here in Israel who visited Jordan and not a single one of them disliked it 😊). Also, you mentioned the lack of Jordanian ability to outsource its workforce - in fact, some Jordanians work in Israel! I personally know there are Jordanians who are employed in the Israeli southern city of Eilat, and I think there are more employment options for them here. I ASSUME that one of the reasons is because on average jobs in Israel tend to pay fairly well relative to our neighboring states, so it's convenient for example for a resident of Aqaba to work for Israeli salary and return home every day to pay Jordanian rent. This is not very uncommon - a few thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank do the same because it's easier to pay the bills this way. I actually met a few Palestinians who work in Israel myself and they seemed fairly satisfied with their working conditions, hopefully the same applies for the Jordanians. In the end of the day, the best way to describe Israeli-Jordanian relations is that for us Jordan is like that neighbor you have next door that you used to hate but now you're kinda getting along with because you're both just tired of the whole drama you had with each other when you both bought your houses, and now you two prefer to simply live alongside each other harmlessly, politely say hello to each other on the way to work in the morning or if you happen to run across each other by the entrance. You both remember the beef you had very well and there is still some bitterness about it, you'd just rather not talk about it anymore because it's not worth it for both of you to bring it up all over again.

Hi, I watch your videos and I really enjoy them. I would propose you to make a video about the geopolitics of the Balkans, it's a real challenge to sum all of it in one video but if it were easy everyone would do it, right? Best regards and keep up the good work!

Great video, you could have also mentioned that after Yom Kippur in 1974 the Arab League countries, including Jordan, agreed that PLO is the soul legitimate representative of Palestinian people. And Jordan renounced its claim to the West Bank in 1988.

Jordan is a great ally to the United States. May she always prosper!

We in Jordan have the term (mattress driver / سائق فرشة) Which is what we specifically call a college graduate who is unemployed, And this term is far from uncommon , it's actually rare to find someone who works using his degree , but we enjoy the only decent leader and government in the arab world , so it's basically (we might have huge financial and economical problems but at least we are safe and free ) and we avg about 0 to 2 case's of covid-19 daily thanks to our leadership

An excellent report indeed. I will be working with and for the Jordanian government soon and am trying to educate myself on the culture and history of this wonderful country. Your video gave me some great insights. With current events, I'm sure things are very much on edge in Jordan. Hope a peaceful resolution can be achieved soon. Thank again for a great video.

Another great video Shirvan! One nation which has been covered many times previously on this channel is Ethiopia.

Ethiopia cannot keep itself together without ethnic cleansing, it needs an enemy to pretend all of its faults are because of them. The Ethiopian government treats Egypt like a mortal enemy, while Egypt barely remembers Ethiopia exists! Ethiopia is tearing at the seems and will Balkanize without a shadow of a doubt. Somalis and all the other ethnic groups do not want to be called Ethiopian nor do they like Ethiopia! But of course, somehow that is all a country downstreams fault. Ethiopians cannot even admit when they are at fault for the shitty state of their own country. That is a perfect example of why Ethiopia is going to Balkanize. Terrible, terrible country.

Yeah, I just watched it again, it's good but talks mostly about the Franco-German relations and begining of EU. I was hoping on something like, what the EU should do to limit it's political fragmentation and the influence of China and Russia inside it's borders. Something that would look at all it's needs across all it's regions and not just the needs of France+Germany (in the long peace video) or the east region (three seas initiative video).

@@lucimicle5657 you know, the EU has so far done nothing to prevent foreign influence within it's borders. Done nothing to enforce external borders (leaving states dealing with it themselves.) The EU's main goal has been to integrate it's members more&more and integrate the union in international trade. Which is nice when it's about Canada, Singapore or Japan. But less so when it integrates you with China or (sometimes) the USA. There has been a recent wake up call from Germany, the Netherlands or France to scrutinize Chinese investments but it was rejected. And recently Germany&NLs refused to pool Corona debts, so much for integrated economies. In any case the current crisis will change the EU. Countries are realizing that they can't completely depend on international trade. The question is : will the EU act as the glue turning the countries into an independent and solidary block or will it fall back to a simple trading union like the EEC was.

Strange nobody writes about the "elephant in the room" regarding the 6 Day Way. It did not just happen out of a vacuum and "unfornately" due to misguided loyalties got involved and "somehow" lost the illegally occupied West Bank. I n eed not rehash Jordan's involvement, but simply inform you that once Jordan began shelling Israel part of West Jerusalem and Israel the Israelis sent two messages to King Hussein through UN in Jerusalem to cease fire and not get involved in the war. On that basis there would be no retalialiation by Israel & the peaceful "status quo" would remain. Hussein did not heed the warning as you probably know

This is an excellent video for informing military plans.
