Assad became more hostile to his own people and required action to keep him in check.
North Korea became more adamant about developing nuclear weapons and became increasingly defiant in their actions, which required Trump to take action or risk a horrible situation developing.
The tunnel had recently started blocking US and Afghan forces from advancing in Afghanistan and it's bombing was necessary to keep ISIS from becoming a stronghold in the area and to prevent other terrorist activity.
The situations in Syria and North Korea are essentially unchanged. Assad isn't more hostile to his people. North Korea isn't more adamant or increasingly defiant. It's business as usual for both.
Syria was a flip flop. The MOAB bomb in Afghanistan definitely wasn't. I'm not sure what position changed regarding North Korea, if any.
Do you want to take a stab at the flip flops on NATO and China?
