No… the military strike was to make sure they don’t use them again, by making them regret using them the first time. If this plan works out, that would accomplish the aim of making sure they don’t use them again.

If they do give them up to Russia and they get shipped to the US I think it works out better as far as dealing with chemical weapons. If we have to go with a military action we wouldn’t necessarily know if we got them destroyed. There wouldn’t be damaged civilian structures, civilian deaths, and the costs of attacking, etc., etc.
