Yeah, that's a fair question. But even if it's a 'one-off' attack, is the statement not (I assume) that attacking innocent civilians in such a cruel and grotesque way is unacceptable from a US perspective and there will be consequences?
I'm not sure. I think I could buy the international support insofar as they made a couple calls to key allies and people were likely indifferent to it. It sure seems like an impulsive reactionary attack, you're right, but I'm not sure that's bad given who it was against and the things that person has done.
