"Another pacifism solution."

Hardly. Self interest includes all the facts in the case. It has nothing to do with pacifism unless you are a pacifist.

"In the real world military force is a necessary component of the mix. You can talk "rational consensus" all you want"]

Again..."rational consensus" would not be "rational" if it ignored the realities of economic and military weight.

"What will stop the other guys is the knowledge that they will be atomized if they take you on."

It would certainly stop rational people...
