The Eastern front is Back

For 7 years Israel considered the Eastern front, the one facing Jordan and Syria, to be safe, relatively speaking. US presence in iraq was supposed to assure that no major armed force could coalesce, approach israel via Jordan, and be arrayed against Israel along the jordan valley and the hilltops controlled by fatah-hamas.

Now that the US is limping away, the eastern Front is back, with a vengeance. The question is not if, but when the Jordanian monarchy will buckle, and accept "friendly" forces entering from the east to confront the common enemy, the jewish renegade Dhmmi State. Eighty million Shiites of Persia and Iraq can muster a goodly menace.
All is not well on the Eastern Front
