Is liberalism in International Politics a fiasco? and Can Realist approaches still be justified?

I personally believe in realist school. USA talk about Human rights remember Mala, but than what about millions in Palestine and Syria.
So yes Realist view could explain here is how:
Russia want to maximize its power and influence to increase security. the USA want to maintain its power. it is struggle for relative gains that realist talk about, not the absolute gains that institutional liberal promote. As end of ISIS have absolute gain for the usa and saudi as well but it will have relative gains to Assad and russia .
PS: i believe Liberalism is what they tell other to do, realism is what they do. Do as we say not as we do.
