"realpolitik"
by Tanner Robertson
"realpolitik" can be described as real or actual politics. The term is most commonly used in a way that focuses more on the practical and material gain then the moral and ethical gain. The policy of Realpolitik was formally introduced to Richard Nixon by Henry Kissinger. Nixon used this practical politics viewpoint to justify the backing of the South Vietnamese leader Diem despite his flaws.
