Here’s where the factions stand on military actions abroad:
CLs: No nation-building, period. We fight only when we’re attacked, and the military should be cut along with everything else.
PBPs: War is bad for business.
CDs: America is obligated to use force for humanitarian purposes. That includes the spreading of democracy around the world.
Reactionaries: We generally support the exercise of American power, and we love the military. However, we’re not too sure about the nation-building thing; we would rather use the money at home to make American great again.
The Reactionaries are the wild card here. They supported the Iraq War initially, but then turned against it. They can go either way–just like Trump, who threw more troops into Afghanistan over his previous objections about wasting money and nation-building.
