Chemical warfare is dangerous however even if it's war crime I think it would be unwise to attack like we did earlier because that is basically saying it's on let war begin however even if we went with the peaceful approach we probably don't have much of a chance to reason with them and so eventually I am sure we will have to fight back.
Honestly I don't how to handle the situation I wouldn't want to start ww3 but i also wouldn't want to look like a push over like Obama did. Glad i'm not the president

Well from what I am finding the most you could do is demand for more inspections.
Curiously in my researches on this I found that Assad might technically not be considered a war criminal under international law at all even if we operate under the assumption that indeed he did use chemical weapons (which keep in mind he denies.) Pretty much the crux of the matter is that technically it's not a war crime unless they are used in a war of "international character" or unless Syria were to become party to some recent amendments to the statute linked below, which it is not a party to and neither is the US nor Russia.

Curiously, if we pretend that Syria, the US, and Russia did adopt these amendments, then technically the US would be guilty of a war crime, a "crime of aggression" for the missile strike against Assad and also for helping the rebels to undermine a sovereign nation.
So I guess in summary, Assad can technically drop as much chemical weapons he wants to so long as they are inside Syria and it is not a war crime and Trump can send as many salvos of missiles into Syria and give as many weapons and money to jihadists as he likes and it is not a war crime either. I guess it pretty much sums up pretty well the great oxymoron of the notions of international law and laws of war.

Why would Assad who has rebel forces, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS attempting to overthrow his power, chemically gas his own people? Absurd. It does no advancement to his government. However, it is said, and you should check out my post on this news forum ,that possibly the rebel forces are using this as a tactic to gain support and aid to their group. Pictures and videos of the injured are not substantial evidence.
