Talking politely and carrying a big stick may work better but does nothing to earn a loyal following. It does however encourage a lot of negatives like opportunistic loyalists, wavering respect and backstabbing allies - all of which could be avoided to ensure unwarranted rivalry. While it can be argued that selfish motives are the key to emerging success, its utility remains untested in a world dictated by survival of the fittest.
This policy was created and implemented as a diplomatic tool used to teach opponents resisting the govt policy and was populist in nature.
So where does it lead us? To a point where the doctrine of M.A.D. is assured. Mutually assured destruction is the only reason the world exists as we know it.
