In the final round of cards, threats and intimidation are always dangerous; however, sometimes, when you bet all your chips at the table, it becomes the only road to victory.
Of course, in order for the threats to appear credible and not just remain at the verbal stage, some practical actions are essential. Even if you dislike the American cop style of handling things, which is "shoot first. Get rid of a bad guy, then another bad guy. Take out all the bad guys before asking them questions," the crude way of communication. At the very least, don't let anyone think you're holding a gun just to scare them; you need to let the opposition know that you might pull the trigger at any time, blasting his head off.

The answer is hunger and strategic bombing.
