      Apparently he supported the NATO bombings of Yugoslavia and the occupation of Afghanistan, while doing some weirdo rules worship take where he thought invading Iraq to kill Saddam was good but it was bad that the US just decided to do it outside of the rules based international order.

      Also theres some stuff on the wiki page where he supported Amnesty distancing themselves from a guantanamo bay victim and his advocacy org but idk enough about that situation to immediately have a take on it.
