Realists cherry pick their wars. They rightfully stress Vietnam & Iraq (though many self-styled realists supported both) & leave out World War I or Iran-Iraq war. The also blame liberalism for wars initiated due of realist arguments, not liberal ones- ie Iraq. Cheney is a realist — PolitiTweet.org

In the name of defending realist ideologies, i.e. BOP, millions of people have died over the centuries. I'm happy to have that debate with you sometime, just not on twitter. Marxism, fascism, theocracy, liberalism also produced millions of deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Realism is not just a theory. It is an ideology. Just like any other ideology, the translation from theory to practice is not alway as neat and precise as the high priests would like. Id make the exact same argument about Liberalism, or for that matter, Marxism. — PolitiTweet.org
