Sure it might be unacceptable but realpolitik and realism has little to do with anyones moral or ethical principles.

Realpolitik can only ever be an explanation, not a justification. We don't need to accept this from our leaders, especially if we live in any of the more powerful nations of the globe.

  • The last US president to seriously question their country's foreign policy got their head blown off. It goes without saying that Trump is not a serious person.

  • Everyone wants to live in the most powerful nation of the globe. Nobody wants to acknowledge what it takes to be the most powerful nation in the world.
