I'd argue the Federation of Planets I represent is in one now too. With a non-Federation empire. Some believe war is inevitable, but we've come far on the ideals of peace and cooperation so the Federation is desperate to settle matters nonviolently."
Though, depending on who you ask, the effectiveness is up in the air. Jim personally seems very grim about it. He's seen the sort of of secret research Starfleet was involved in personally. It didn't end well for the Klingons or for himself and his crew.
