That's a current point of disagreement then. Let's iterate from here.
I'll break it up this way:

1) If I physically destroy every other intelligent thing, what is
going to threaten me?

2) Given 1), if something does come along, what is going to be a

be done with it, avoiding annihilation? History is rewritten by
victors.
