Why do bands need to voice a strong opinion on international politics?

That's part of how punk and rap was born, yes

Depends on the band. Have they shared strong opinions before? Than yes, their fans can expect them to share their opinions on international politics. If not, nobody would expect them to have an opinion on the first place and there would be no discussion to be had.
