No need to escalate anything. Just punish the people who did it and move on.

Sounds like Europe's initial response to Hitler's incursions.

It's already escalated. Russia's moves are escalations. This shit needs to be stomped out.

To be fair, is this much different than fallout from our targeted drone strikes?

Yes.

The chemical that was used seems awful. Far worse than VX.

And I hear that it is only manufactured in Russia.

"British police launched a murder investigation Friday after an autopsy revealed that a Russian exile who was critical of Vladimir Putin was strangled in his home. Nikolay Glushkov, whose body was found Monday, died as a result of “compression to the neck,” London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement."
