Anti‑War Right Embraces Intervention

When a partisan leader orders an extraterritorial operation, self‑described anti‑war conservatives can rapidly switch to endorsing the action, revealing that opposition to force is often contingent and political rather than principle‑based. That conversion normalizes selective use of force and weakens cross‑partisan norms that constrain executive action abroad. — This signals a potential realignment in conservative foreign‑policy norms that reduces institutional checks on unilateral interventions and reshapes alliance management and domestic accountability for force.
