“It is the sending of a message.” Thank God I’m alone in thinking this. This sends a strong message to Putin, the Chinese, NK, Iran and anyone else who wants to stuff around. On one hand it is only a very small occurrence but the message it says is that Trump is not Obama and that, while he does not wish to get involved in some things, there are lines you do not cross and if you do the action will be swift and brutal!
That’s a good message for all to understand both friend and foe!
I see dual message :
to Syria- if you have chemical weapons secure them.
If you are ISI or whatever flavor -there are some weapons that should not be used.
