I don’t think conservatives give a shit about “violence in the world”. Conservatives are the people suggesting we nuke the Middle East as a solution to conflicts there, for example.
EDIT: I mean IRL, conservatives I know in person are the people I know saying shit like that - they’re usually hawkish, pro-war, apologists for American imperialism and colonial genocide, etc. - I know there are probably more nuanced takes from intellectuals, talking heads, etc. but I tend to think in general conservatives and the right are not concerned with ending violence but usually the exact opposite.

Well, they do complain about the ‘high rates of crime and murders in democratic cities!’, so there’s that.
“crime” is practically a dog whistle for “non-white people” tbh, the violence isn’t what bothers them (nor is the fear particularly based in reality, and the evidence we have points to crime being at an all-time low)
Their solution to that is violence
It’s because they think killing the right people will save many others.
They think the Middle East has such a high concentration of the right people to kill that it’s worth the collateral damage.
