The name "Gunsmoke" resonates with fans of classic Western television, and one of its notable stars, Roger Ewing, holds a special place in the hearts of many. Known for his role as Thad Greenwood, Ewing contributed significantly to the beloved series. His performance and character development left an indelible mark on the show's history and its dedicated audience. Over the years, Ewing's portrayal of Thad has been celebrated for its authenticity and charm, making him a cherished figure in the world of 15.000 less than 20.000 less than 25.000 less than 30.000 less than 35.000 less than 40.000 less than 45.000 less than 50.000 less than 55.000 less than 60.000 less than 65.000 less than 70.000 less than 75.000 less than 80.000 less than 85.000 less than 90.000 less than 95.000 less than 100.000 less than 105) then reads, "If the world remains a world of states, the basic thesis of realism will remain valid." The claim of "if-then" has a certain logical force to it; it implies a counterfactual about what would happen if the antecedent were false. If the world does not remain a world of states, then realism would not remain valid. This has the same form as the claim that "If all bachelors are unmarried, then Obama is President of the United States." Since the United States is not necessarily a monarchy, it is not necessarily true that all bachelors are unmarried. A similar problem arises when one says, as Waltz does, that realism would remain valid if the world remains a world of states. The world could still be a world of states, but have such different characteristics that realism would be invalid. For example, a world of states could lack anarchy, which is one of the assumptions of realism. In the absence of anarchy, the balance of power which is central to realism may not operate. Thus, it is not true that realism would be valid if the world remains a world of states. In light of these objections, it seems that the argument for the necessity of states for realism is not as strong as it might seem at first. If the world does not remain a world of states, it is not necessarily the case that realism will become invalid. Conversely, if the world remains a world of states, it is not necessarily the case that realism will remain valid. Hence, the claim that the necessity of states for realism is supported by an "if-then" argument is not credible.
