If, as is highly likely, Syrian President Bashar Assad uses chemical weapons against civilians in Idlib province, Syria, President Trump should order significant military retaliation against his regime. That retaliation should not seek regime change, but rather Assad and the world’s education of American intolerance of weapons of mass destruction being used against civilians.
First off, it’s worth questioning whether Assad will again use chemical weapons. This bears consideration in light of some individuals who are buying ludicrous Russian propaganda reports that any chemical attack in Syria will be staged by the West. Because the abundant evidence points to both tactical and strategic understandings (heavily influenced by Russia) why Assad is highly likely to use chemical weapons in Idlib.
