jingoist
Belligerent patriotism advocate
A jingoist is someone who advocates aggressive, bellicose nationalism—the kind that favors military force and hostile foreign policy over diplomacy.
The term carries strong disapproval, implying blind patriotism and eagerness for conflict: The jingoists in Congress were pushing for war.
The adjective is jingoistic.
