Hmm what if we were suddenly attacked in Europe, I fail to see how any country in the world would not be caught by a surprise attack, Pearl Harbour anyone.
Plus if more countries were willing to use force we would have more war not less, it stands to reason as there are a lot of very small countries around the world who even at 100% recruitment would be unable to defend themselves.(at least conventionally)
Basically you cant base your entire policy on some kind of innate fear of invading hordes from the steppes.
