I'm no expert but could someone tell me what the logic of Assad would be in using the chemical weapons at this stage? It just doesn't make sense to me so far.
because he's got away from using it several times before without much recrimination (and lets be honest he isnt holidaying abroad anytime soon to be arrested on war crimes). Sure everyone shouts about it but its quickly forgotten - meantime on the ground the threat of it occuring again sticks with the population - kind of a scare tactic I guess
This time the US called him out on it
