Why do leftists lift up the enemies of the US?

This is more of a philosophical discussion, I suppose, but in my observations, the Democrat party and then most American leftists are always cozying up with Americas enemies, or crying foul for any sort of retribution the US wants to give out to the same. Modern examples:
Vietnam. Obvious - see Jane Fonda and the entire anti war hippie movement. I understand there are legitimate criticisms to be leveled at the war, but that's different than outright supporting communist Vietnam like Fonda did. That's not dissent, that's treason.
Middle East in general - complete embrace of radical Islam in its entirety by American and European leftists, despite the fact that Islamist ideology is sharply different from "progressives" in the West. The only similarity is a shared hatred of the West as a concept. Progressives want to bring as many of these people in as possible.
China - the left just refuses to discuss this at all but is the first ones to start clamoring against beefing up our holdings in the Pacific or revisiting Japanese disarmament.
Mexico - complete endorsement of open borders and allowing the open flow of illegal immigration from Mexico and everywhere else south of the border, completely ignoring the real life implications of this and shifting any sort of criticism to "racism".
What is the end game for these leftists who are so willing to present their necks to the altar of progressivism?
I could go on, but this seems to be a pattern at least since post WWII. Us has not been aligned on foreign policy ever since it seems like.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
