Is it like a specific approach to doing politics, and how is it supposed to contrast with other aspects of politics?
In: Other
It refers to politics based on pragmatism or realism rather than ideology. You may think that Ukraine is totally right and Russia is totally wrong, but hold a realpolitik position that Ukraine should cede territory in a compromise because it cannot win, the costs are too great for what it could hope to achieve by continuing the war, etc.
