the issue is a political one more than anything else so the jordanians kind of with the americans in terms of being against the assad regime but as this stance is softened you found that so for example americans and the groups that they have been backing they have been cutting deals actually with the assad regime in order to kind of move back into the states sphere of influence and away from the free syrian army away from the revolution so once that's kind of you know amalgamated is all sorted out i think you'll find the border crossing will be open for any you know fairly quickly i think internationally speaking that's kind of been the status quo and that's kind of been the way of thinking for quite some time now the americans actually you know you could say they said that the assad regime and the russians should not kind of bomb the deescalation zones and then within a couple of days they completely changed their tune and they said that the rebels you know you're on your own you better sort this out terms of your own interests so withdrawing all of that support it's inevitable that
