Yes. Every nation on earth has always operated and continues to operate on a basis of pragmatic self-interest.
It's always fascinating to hear idealism though.
The problem with it is no one could ever run a country that way.
So the best we can do with this sort of notion is to listen to it, understand that at its best it is well-intentioned, and see it very slowly being incorporated into global and cultural evolution on a long historic timescale. In the meantime, there are nations operating as they always have.
Impatience is a characteristic of the well-intentioned idealist and is forgivable.
Idealism at the service of agenda-driven politics is simply self-serving rhetoric.
