    The conflict will not really change, but reinforce, the ideological sentiments. What's happening in Ukraine and the western media narrative related to it gives them a major enemy, an evil empire, to focus on. It strips a good deal of what might be a margainal leftist sentiment from liberals, and helps bind the liberals to a united cause with the GOP, giving them an 'in' to draw them further towards rightward ideology. Liberals may come to want a strong man because only a strong man who 'gets things done' can counter the same. A fight fire with fire sort of attitude. In the upcoming midterm elections, should the conflict stretch on that long, I suspect the DNC will try to convince others they can handle the conflict 'smartly'. But the GOP will try to convince that they can win the conflict.
