How does punative strikes, except as a warning not to do it again?
​
The ever diminishing "punitive strikes" will do nothing good, and a lot of harm.
​
A punitive strike using nukes that obliterated Assad's entire military would send a message that could not be ignored.
​
Pinpricks, as are being proposed, will just show Assad that he can stand up to the US and not have to worry.
​
Best just to leave well enough alone.
