Obama said using chemical warfare was a red line that would invoke American intervention a couple of years back but when the Syrian government did, he stepped back from the brink.
Since them Russia and Iran (via their Hezbollah proxies) have got involved in the fighting - and turned the tide in that country - and perhaps more importantly politically - the balance of power in the whole region.
Now that the Americans have this time acted on a chemical attack what will be the wider consequences and ramifications?
Also did he really need to get involved - is he really making some sort of statement to the world rather just a response to what happened?
What message will the likes of Russia and China (who are actively land grabbing in the Far East by building islands in the seas and claiming sovereignty over the minerals and fish that lie around them) take out of this action?
Or is America starting to police the world for good, again?
A good move or bad move by Trump do you think?
