It is simply his job to look after those, his own people, who elected him first, rather than looking after others first for whom he is not directly responsible and over whom he has no direct leadership.
Do elaborate on how sending troops half way across the world to occupy a country illegally is looking after his own people. Can't wait for you to make it make sense.
What gives you the idea that the base in Jordan is to occupy? Jordan is a sovereign country and an allie so what do you mean?
One little problem here is that Jordan states that the base is not in Jordan but in Syria where US is currently occupying a larger percentage of territory than Russia is in Ukraine

These are two different bases. It is a contradiction in terms to say near the syrian border and in syria at the same time.
Tower 22 which got attacked is in Jordan and potentially a supply post for the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria.

Again, Jordan is denying there were any attacks on its territory.
Dude, what is your point?
It's pretty obvious that my point is that either US or Jordan is lying here, and given that US occupation of Syria is illegal under international law, it's likely that US is lying about where their troops died. Hope that clears things up for you dude.
