Not really just pragmatism. After all, it's no surprise that Jordan is one of the most stable, peaceful and forward looking country in the region, which is an achievement by itself especially in a region full of instability, civil wars, sectarianism etc despite bordering or being close to most of these countries, Kordan has manage to be a stable moderate and open country with help from the U.K and U S. For example In the 1950s the UK committed troops to the king after an army coup in Iraq threatened Jordan's security. It contributed military help again, in the 1970s, after Syria entered the north of the country in support of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, even to today Britain and the U. S are still helping the country to deal with any spill over effects from the bloody Syrian civil war and Islamic radicals trying to destabilise the country a la Islamic revolution or caliphate.

So I don't see why Jordan shouldn't maintain its close historic alliance with Britain (and the U. S) since it has served the country's interests well so far. Win-win.. Why Change a winning/beneficial formula ? As they say in French :on ne change pas une équipe qui gagne. :)

I was just trolling because of the fact they have english generals as leaders.. :)

peaceful and forward looking country in the region

its mostly peaceful because of interest of western countries as you have already written .. specially england.. the puppet regime there is remote controlled.. and I guess this both pillars of stability make 80% of all security concerns..

OKC's Enes Kanter detained in Romania

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Enes Kanter is being detained in Romania after his passport was "canceled" by the Turkish embassy on Saturday morning, he said in a video posted to Twitter.

Kanter, who arrived in Bucharest from Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of his 2017 Enes Kanter Light Foundation global tour, posted a video on Twitter in which police officers have "been holding us here for hours."

"The reason behind it is just, of course, my political views," Kanter, who turned 25 Saturday, said in the video. "And the guy who did it is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey."

The Thunder said they are working with the league office and gathering information through the appropriate channels.

Kanter has been an outspoken critic of Erdogan, which has caused tensions in his home country, as he is one of the most famous professional athletes from Turkey. Kanter is a known supporter of Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic leader and the face of the "Gulen Movement."

During a visit to the White House last week, Erdogan was again caught in controversy as some of his security detail fought with protesters.

"He's attacked people in Washington. He's a bad, bad man," Kanter said in the video. "He is a dictator, and he's the Hitler of our century.

"I will keep you posted guys, but just pray for us, and I'll tell you guys what's going on."

After a letter published by his father last summer in a Turkish newspaper, Kanter announced he had been disowned by his family because of his political views.

"Today I lost my mother, father, brothers and sisters, my family and all my relatives," Enes Kanter wrote in the letter, which was translated to English. "My own father asked me to change my surname. My mother, who has given me life, disowned me. My brothers and sisters, with which we have grown together, ignore me."

In 2016, Kanter, after being outspoken against Erdogan's government following a terrorist bombing in Turkey's capital of Ankara two months earlier, said he received death threats after a failed military coup to overthrow Erdogan.

In June 2015, Kanter said he was left off of Turkey's national team for Eurobasket 2015 because of his politics. National team coach Ergin Ataman said at the time that the decision was not political.

According to Kanter's website, the Light Foundation fosters awareness and provides assistance for children's development through "education, poverty alleviation and social harmony."

He's back in the US.The authorities denied him entry because he didn't had a valid passport
 
. .
What was the reason for his travel to ROmania ?

Indonesia Secret Service tried to arrest him in Indonesia because of his FETÖ Terror Organisation connection, he ran away illegally to the Singapoure, then Romania with his CIA connection. He openly thanked to the CIA and his FETÖ "hodjas" for communicating Romanian officials (bribering them with huge amount of money) to blind eyes on Laws and let him go to the US.

He Is on Interpol red list to be arrested and delivered to Turkey. Romania ignored international agreements and laws.Bulgaria arrests and transfers those kind of people Turkey. If the guy wanted Asylum in Romania it would be other case.
