But I agree that Bfine's comments have some merit because--1) a COALITION of powerful countries sends a much stronger message than the US acting unilaterally. The response cannot be attributed simply to Trump's impulsivity. And 2) retaliation is much harder against three countries. Harder for Russia to manage, militarily and in terms of PR.

Yeah, I should have said a joint attack from US, France, and Britain instead of UN forces.... because hairs must be split. But regardless the response was exactly what I hoped for.
