My commitment to overcoming authoritarianism doesn’t stop at American borders. The rise of right-wing leaders with authoritarian tendencies is not simply an American phenomenon. Global peace means not bowing down to authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin or Viktor Orbán, as Donald Trump and his cronies have done. Instead, we must support democratic movements worldwide while still avoiding unnecessary military intervention which historically worsens outcomes on the ground and hurts American interests.

It’s also of incredible importance that members of Congress speak out against human rights abuses across the world that too often are overlooked. In Congress, I will always uplift the voices of activists fighting for peace and democracy worldwide. I will also use my platform and powers as a member of Congress to call for the United States to rejoin the Paris Climate Accords, recognize the International Criminal Court, and rejoin the World Health Organization.

Putin’s war in Ukraine presents one of the most brazen instances of an illegal and immoral invasion of one country by another since World War II. The United States must exert significant diplomatic pressure on Russia and its allies to end the war and recognize full Ukrainian sovereignty over its rightful territory, including Crimea which Russia illegally annexed in 2014. Hopefully this will be accomplished before I enter Congress but if the war persists, I will support additional humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine.

As with regard to Taiwan, the United States must continue to support Taiwan in the face of increasing Chinese aggression and attempts to undermine Taiwan’s internationally recognized status as a state of its own.

So what do you call this? It isn't anti-war-ism, it's mostly dogs of the US empire with pro-Palestinian characteristics.

Not even pro-palestinian she calls for the occupation of Gaza by its genociders and those complicit and vouches for the extermination of Hamas.
