the left so you know there you have two things going on and maybe in some cases they overlap but you have people who like you said they have their guy in office they're in control they're intoxicated with the power so they and they want to believe their president is going to do the right thing and so they're less inclined to call for restraint when informed policy matters and then you have those and this is probably a deeper problem who see responding to what happened in Ukraine with military force and more weapons as being a humanitarian cause and a moral issue and this is where a lot of the restrainers on the left split because they believe in restraint under certain circumstances but in military intervention and others and in the latter they believe it's over humanitarian impulse and they're very conservative and this is akin to the responsibility to protect this effort or this strategy that had been coined in the 2000s and went away because it became unpopular and cheesy and nobody wanted to defend it and so if looking at it a reiteration of that now that we have a responsibility to protect Ukrainians defend them from the Russians and then writ large defend democracy in the region and throughout the globe and so if you do that somehow you are aligning yourself with the forces of autocracy i.e. Putin and so the restraint impulse is not consistent there are a lot of people who are consistent on the left but increasingly it's the far left and you can question the motivations of the folks on the right though i think there are a number of different factions and motivations that are behind this anti-war movement on the right but as far as i'm concerned and for folks like at the American and I'm still a conservative and antiwar.com you know i can speak for them because they're my friends and i'm still affiliated you know it's a consistency it's a consistency in antiwar restraint consistency that you that you can apply to every foreign policy issue not just the part which i think a lot of the folks on the on the left are suffering from right now

unfortunately. Part of the dynamic at play on Capitol Hill among Democrats and and i would say it's true even more broadly among liberals in the United States. You have this concoction or this sort of mixture political mixture if you know your history of some of the bill Clinton doctrine from his eight years in power where you know no chance get the time called that the new military humanism and you know i often talk about cruise missile liberals.
