I am half awake and my brain for some reason decided that you had written ‘political realism.’ I literally read it and was like ‘huh, makes sense,’ before moving on and then abruptly stopping when my actual processing finally caught up, like ‘wait, what?’
The more I sit here considering, the more it feels like political realism should really be a thing.

Looks like it actually is a thing!

I was thinking more about the ‘reality’ which politicians present to people than states interacting with one another, but this is interesting too.
