Poland supports US airstrike on Syria

Top Polish officials voiced their support to a US air strike on a Syrian airfield. “In the face of this act of unimaginable barbarity, the civilized world could not remain indifferent," Polish President Andrzej Duda said in a statement. “Poland strongly condemns crimes committed against civilians and calls for the entire international community to engage even more strongly in the restoration of peace in Syria, to stop the madness of war, to interrupt the spiral of violence,” the president said. “The United States for sure are a guarantor of world peace and order. And there are situations when you need to react, situations when you need to take actual action,” government's spokesman Rafał Bochenek said. “We have seen the abuses of the Syrian regime over the last years - no one had reacted to that,” he added. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he ordered missile strikes against a Syrian airfield from which a deadly chemical weapons attack was launched, declaring he acted in America's “vital national security interest.”
