I feel like this comment ^ was made in bad faith. Providing an accurate description of reality is not an endorsement of that reality, but I'm pretty sure you already know this, and your comment here is more of a rhetorical tool than an addition to the discussion.

Okay, I will spell it out: You are confusing might with right.

> Okay, I will spell it out: You are confusing might with right.

You are confusing describing the world with how it is and describing how it ought to be.

Might does tend to make right in geopolitics if you are a super power. That doesn't mean i like it, or think that it is right, its just the world we currently live in is.

No, GP is stating that right can’t be enforced without being backed by might. Idk how that’s controversial.

A law with no enforceable consequence is no law at all.
