[Peace] Liberals now out hawk conservatives on war and aggression

[Karen Aram]

Those of us who have been active in the anti-war movement during the Obama years are very well aware of the fact that liberals now out-hawk conservatives, but it wasn’t so very obvious until Trump was elected, and now it's an open book with no shame on the part of liberal Democrats who support Biden and US foreign policy of war and aggression. 
"Author Daniel Kovalik teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, and is author of the recently-released No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using “Humanitarian” Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests."
"You might have noticed something curious following Biden's apparent election win – liberal politicians and media are sounding the alarm that Trump may use his remaining months in office to draw down our troops from Afghanistan.
For example, the New York Times ran a piece on November 12 claiming that “both in Kabul and Washington, officials with knowledge of security briefings said there was fear that President Trump might try to accelerate an all-out troop withdrawal in his final days in office” before the more “responsible” Biden can take over and try to stop or at least slow this. It is clear now that it is the liberal establishment, and the Democratic Party, which is more wedded to war than their counterparts across the aisle, and that should be disturbing to people hoping for progressive change with the incoming Administration.”
