The American Left and The American Right both want to interfere in the other countries in the world. Where they differ on, is the targets?
There is no Anti war in America, America has been in a war or two every single decade, the marketing of war presidents (by the media) is just different.
So, Lyndon B Johnson becomes a "civil war era" rather than "Vietnam war era" president.
George Bush becomes like a " Iraq war president" unlike Barack Obama who was just a "First Black president".
The media that mainly leans Left markets the democratic party to the population, they just don't see these things clearly.
Also, I've Never bought this Churchillian rhetoric that United States is going to do the right thing after it has exhausted all it's options.
Infact America has never done the right thing (from the Vietnam war or supporting Mujahideens against Soviets), it has merely ended up on the right side by tumbling down to the solution after the rest of the world has come to the conclusion about what they see as a threat of an existential nature which requires immediate attention and a need to come together.
The united states then just hops on to that train, because it's merely forced to take a decision about an matter of extreme importance to the rest of the world, which is what happened during the world war, or War on Terror after it got hit by a couple of planes.
Till then it merely takes care of it's narrow intrest like the power of the US dollar or Oil or countries that pose a direct challenge to American power or its hegemony like (Russia or China).
Obviously, it is in the other side of the rest of the connected world in a different continent, so it can afford to be ignorant and doesn't experience things first hand basis but has a lofty view of things from an Armchair historians.
Trump is very good at reading the room. Trump would care more about Gaza in (Israel Gaza war) than Biden because, in the Trump world the only thing you cannot do is "MAKE TRUMP LOOK BAD" and the war in Gaza in Israel is making Biden look really weak.
He might still be supportive of Israel.
But Still! Trump wouldn't like Israel to make America (or him) look bad.
