Kind of funny to watch an affectively polite center-right figure wring his hands about the realization that being on the right means, as it has always meant, that you actively favor things like brutal imperialismhttps://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1422573314934022147 …
So while there is absolutely an imperialist right - and it is very much rearing its ugly face right now - I am not sure it is fair to say that being of the right definitionally means that someone supports imperialism, past or present.

Say better then that the right is the natural home of colonial defense and apologia and right-wingers who do not favor those things have no grounds for being surprised by that.

Again, I'll stipulate to a lot of colonial apologia on the right (and that's bad). But that doesn't seem unique - the Progressives could be pretty pro-imperial (e.g. Teddy Roosevelt) and hard-leftist regimes are often pretty OK with imperial adventures.
