When Russian agents used Novochok on British soil
much of the international community expressed their strong and to my mind quite correct disapproval by expelling Russian intelligence officers from their countries.
The bombing of Syria was due to their use of chemical weapons, and if this can be supported legally then this was an appropriate response to remove their capability to carry out further attacks. However the two issues were different and the bombing of Syria in my opinion should not be viewed as a retaliation for the Salisbury incident or "a lesson to Putin".
