Sure it does. It helps eliminate one of the last pockets of opposition and allows Russia to stir the pot and create more pressure on the US. The risk of a response, even a coalition led response that could depose Assad is really pretty low.

There's also the scenario where the attack was carried out by the Deep State to bait Trump into war with Syria
