If you are a "realist" and say that "Russia invading Ukraine is just the kind of thing that Great Powers do," that's true. That's "real."

But if in your next breath, you say that the Ukrainians should not try to enter NATO and the EU, that's not "realism": because small countries also band together to resist Great Powers. That too is the truth. That is "real." Instead, you are advancing a NORM, which just happens to reflect what the Russians prefer in this crisis.

If in your next breath, you say that the Ukrainians should just surrender, because nothing is worse than the loss of life, that's not realism either, because soldiers think in terms of laying down their lives for their countries. Instead, you are advancing a NORM, a norm that just so happens to be what the Russians want Ukrainians to believe.

If in your next breath, you say that the United States and the EU shouldn't interfere, well that's not realism, right? Isn't competing with other Great Powers precisely what Great Powers do? So you have slipped in another NORM. Basically, you are arguing that Russian aggression should be tolerated because that's what Great Powers do. But Europe and the US should not act like Great Powers. They should mind their own business. Coincidentally, this norm is exactly what the Russians prefer.

Is it really a coincidence that "realism" translates into letting the Russians have their way? Or is this line of argument manufactured in Moscow and propagated into the American Right, from Pat Buchanan all the way to the Dissident Right?
