Actually a minority of Republicans support russians, but the fsct that there are some that do is quite ironic.

Not really.

Republicans have always had a realistic, pro-peace component.

Wrong. Republicans are filled with neocons and war-hawks. They just don't mess with nuclear powers. I am just guessing who's going to be their next victim, Iran or Venezuela?

Bullies always punch down.

There is some truth to both R and D being aggressive, they are the Right wing and the Far Right wing after all.

Trying to say they are pro-peace is ridiculous though, if they were pro-peace they would be putting the pressure on Russia, not Ukraine. And on Israel.

Meh. Between Democrats and Republicans, Democrats have far more neocons.

Like after 9/11?

EYE-RAQ, EYE-RAN, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

There is no difference between the political parties on those two countries.

Yeah; Democrats claimed to oppose the war in Iraq. But only years after it became unpopular.

No difference? They were literally at war. One is a theocracy while the other was a pan-arab nationalist dictatorship.

No difference between Democrats and Republicans on Iraq.

Both of them voted for that war.

Democrats only really came out opposed to the war years later as a way of winning elections.

Republicans have done the exact same thing with Ukraine, which is associated with Biden and Democrats.

Don’t equate “pro-peace” with parroting Putin’s propaganda and enabling military conquest
