Welcome to the forum Grin

Iran: All hate Iran.  Almost no one rules out military action with it.  Conservatives tend to be more aggressive.

Russia: All hate Russia.  Not too many policy proposals, except for hating Russia and condemning Putin.

Venezuela: Republicans love demonizing Venezuela, Democrats tend to agree but much less aggressively.  Not too many policy proposals, again.

China: Not very much of a partisan split here.  Some Democrats are protectionists and support raising the tariff with China 27%, some are like Bill Clinton and support more free trade.  Republicans have similar splits.  These splits are quite strongly associated with the base of each district/state; states with strong industrial-based economies are less in favor of trade with China than those with weak ones.  A few Democrats believe we should boycott the Olympics because of China's support for the government of Sudan.

NATO: Not an issue.

UN: Not an issue, except for some fringe libertarians who support withdrawal.

Darfur (not mentioned in your post): Some Democrats and a tiny bit of Republicans support intervention/military action in Darfur.
