No this is more likely a political-military reality.
Few countries possess peacemaking forces that can project power - Russia, China, NATO. Others such as India and South America might be able to provide regional peacemaking.
Many African countries might also be able to provide regional peacemaking powers but more likely used as peacekeepers.
I think many of you are indeed arguing that intervention by a small number of
well-equipped developed country peacemakers can have a great effect.
This must be well managed as some peacemaking countries do not field peacekeeping forces.
