3. Number 3 seems highly plausible to me.

An empty airbase in Syria's an easy target, he and Putin can Kabuki it out to make it seem like they're on different pages, and then they'll insist it proves lack of collusion between them and Russia.

Point proven by Eric Trump himself:

Eric Trump: Syria missile strikes prove there's no Trump-Russia connection

Syria’s deployment of chemical weapons against its own people, and the U.S. missile strikes targeting a Syrian military air base in response, proved that there is no connection between President Donald Trump and the Russian government, Trump’s son said in an interview published Tuesday.

“If there was anything that Syria did, it was to validate the fact that there is no Russia tie,” Eric Trump told The Daily Telegraph during an interview at the family’s Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. Russia, the most powerful ally of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, has condemned the U.S. missile strikes and been critical of the U.S. president for ordering them.
