We’re apparently positing a dictator who would be perfectly willing to slaughter his own citizens (with CHEMICAL WEAPONS! Which is much worse than using bullets or bombs because something something) but would be unwilling to do so if it resulted in some people and infrastructure in his country would be blown up without threatening his hold on power? “Implausible” is the charitable way of putting it.
We'll probably do it anyway, of course. Get rid of the CHEMICAL WEAPONS and go back to good ol' bombs and bullets (which, as they derive their power from chemical reactions also are CHEMICAL WEAPONS in their own right, but so what). And there is no good outcome in sight.
