Abdullah’s mom is English (Antoinette Avril Gardiner, presumably from Norman French ancestors way back). That’s partly his Norman (i.e. French Viking) pugnacity asserting itself. Muhammad, his long dead ancestor, was no slouch at war, either.
Abdullah’s father, King Hussein, was quite an accomplished fellow too, including piloting fighter planes and helicopters. See the “personal life” section on the Wikipedia page:

The story that Kissinger tells about the treetop level helicopter ride is pretty darn funny!
Ask the PLO about his father. King Hussein had a playboy rep but an iron heart and soul. It appears his son is made from the same iron. If his army is still dominated by bedouin loyal to their king, the descendant of The Prophet,and if Japan supplies the money for the bullets and gas, ISIS will have many very very bad days. I would expect he will receive covert assistance from Bibi as well.
