It asserts it.
But it doesn't make it. So what if 'might' asserts 'right'? The point is it doesn't actually make it.

Yeah but since 'might' doesn't actually make 'right' at all, it's got nothing to do with morality. When we talk about 'might' we're talking about power, yes. But when we're talking about 'right' we're talking about morality.
