Every other country is doing it, and we'd be foolish not to do so too. My Country, Right or Wrong." // Realpolitik is conducting politics based on objectively-existing considerations rather than moral or ideological ones. The term is often used as shorthand for "acting ruthlessly yet pragmatically". This line of cynical philosophy is essentially Nice Guys Finish Last among states, and has been around since two groups got together and decided that there were issues which could only be resolved by one side getting what they wanted at the expense of the other. If you ask The Empire "Why are you taking over our country?", they will respond "To make sure the other empire doesn't first." ..
