Or it could be a message to Assad to stop using nerve gas. Just a wild guess. It would have made absolute zero sense for Assad to use nerve gas. Because the Assad/Russian coalition was already winning and Trump previously stated that it would be up to the Syrian people to choose their leader, i.e.: no more neo-con regime change. I also believe there is no concrete prove yet that Assad is really behind the nerve gas. And I would be very septic about any proof from the USA (it would need to be really really substantial), because let's admit it: the proof of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in the end proved to be false. Both the USA as well as other forces (the so-called white helmets that have a very questionable track record, Turkey, perhaps even Israel) in the region seem to be very interested in removing Assad, no matter the costs.
