If the mission was to prove that Trump is tougher than Obama without making any meaningful changes on the ground or provoking a military reaction from the Russians, yes. Otherwise, no; it was a useless gesture that made the man on golf cart look impotent.
The irony, of course, is that Trump is proving Obama’s point; simply launching a limited air strike on chemical weapons facilities doesn’t change the political or military equation in Syria, so you have to be prepared to escalate if you want to satisfy the hawks, and where does that end? That is why I have said consistently that Obama’s mistake was to create the red line–not to refuse to enforce it.
