I doubt Jordan is next. The government of Jordan is stable, and they have given flyover rights to Israel in the event of an ISIS invasion.
I think Iraq is probably the next target for ISIS now that Russia has left Syria, and if anything, Lebannon is a better target than Jordan.

We are al-Assad now!
The USA should have been supporting al-Assad all along. Assad should never have been the USA's enemy. The "revolution" in Syria was always one of Sunni Jihadists attempting to topple a Alawite-Shiite Government for mass genocide and forced conversion.
WE KNOW THIS NOW
So why did we just authorize $500 Million to train "Moderate" Muslims to fight IS when we know there are no "moderates" and we know that they won't fight IS but will focus on Assad????
What we are seeing is the GROSS INCOMPETENCE of the Obama administration and GROSS Incompetence of the REPUBLICAN leadership that authorized that $500MILLION.
There are no "moderate Muslims" in Syria. There are just Sunni Jihadis, Assad Secularists and Hezbollah Islamists who see Syria as a bulwark against Sunni extremism. .
