For the sake of freedom and out future generations, US's worldwide terriff slavery system must be rejected worldwide at all cost through the effort of worldwide community or else people all over the world would become slave again to feed the parasite regime like US through her worldwide terriff slavery system.
Even an alternative total trade ban option to US is better than becoming a slave to US through her worldwide terriff slavery system for the sake of our future generations.

There are at least two countries I left Jordan for trying a better life and one was worst than the other. Not safe, expensive, and very very aggressive.
@ Rebecca
Those costs are accurate. You can find the Bedouin that go through parts of Amman that have cheaper milks and cheese, just remember to b ok il it first. You can keep chickens in most Amman neighborhoods, just not rooster
