Can Wars Ever Be Abolished? - Stratheia War remains a persistent feature of human history as power politics, weapon industries, and weak institutions undermine lasting peace.

Realists argue that power—not morality—drives international politics. The failure of global institutions often proves this harsh reality.

The Strategic Logic of Survival - Stratheia Nuclear weapons deter aggression, preserve sovereignty, and shape survival in an anarchic world, validating Mearsheimer’s realist logic.

The liberal world order was always aspirational; survival in an anarchic system still rests on power.

Curious how others see it: do you think online aggression helps or hurts real‑world organizing? I’m always interested in hearing from people who’ve actually tried to move institutions, not just win arguments. #politicalrealism #realpolitik #onlinediscourse #digitalactivism #keyboardwarriors #ICYMI

It is Not Oil or Drugs, But Geostrategy at Play in US-Venezuela Crisis - Stratheia US intervention in Venezuela reflects strategic rivalry and hemispheric security concerns, not oil or narco-terrorism motives.

Great powers act when their position is threatened, not when it’s convenient. The US intervention in Venezuela reflects realism in action.

“Fascism is always about controlling the narrative of the public...
As long as they control the narrative, they control the power." — Shon Mehta

Control the story, control the state. A stark reminder from Shon Mehta on the mechanics of power. #PoliticalRealism #Narrative #Propaganda

5/10
Between Frankfurt and Cambridge: Geuss navigates critical theory and historical contextualism. Ott reveals how he avoids Habermas’s normative optimism, embracing conflict and contingency instead.

Machiavelli said: fear > love. Hobbes said: life without power = nasty, brutish, short. 🦁🛡️ Two fathers of realism, defining sovereignty through the lens of survival. Please read them, and the modern world makes sense. 📚🧠 #PoliticalRealism #MachiavelliHobbes

Carl Schmitt: jurist of the exception ⚖️🔥. “Sovereign is he who decides the exception.” Enemy, order, authority—his thought still shapes politics, law, and war. Disturbing, brilliant, indispensable. 🩸📚 #CarlSchmitt #PoliticalRealism

I used to think “Little Marco” was the future of the GOP—and maybe even the country. I was wrong. Spectacularly wrong.

Turns out, the party didn’t want vision. It wanted vengeance. And Rubio? He bent with the wind.

Bernie has consistently been telling the truth.
Has it really taken the mess we’re presently involved in to reveal that? Why?
Many reasons that ALWAYS add up to greed of one sort or another.

I am an independent but my ideals align with #Progressivism which would be better named #PoliticalRealism

9/10 Which leaves Merz—seen as anathema by many liberals for his stance on migration, social agenda, and confrontational personality. But might he stand up to Trump? Might he deliver on domestic grievances after "four years of indecision at home and invisibility abroad"?
