To be fair, it’s not clear that these realists care about right vs. wrong. They see amorality as a feature rather than a bug.

They’re all about “might”, though.

If there was, it would be the ability to throw around enough military or economic weight* to intimidate or (to one degree or another) colonise a higher-end pawn state.

[* Cultural weight, as important as it is, doesn’t count with the realists.]
