[It's not the first time Knives has called him stupid either.]
Ah yes, that's the trick isn't it. Staying clear of the battlefield, when grand scale conflicts ignore things like boundaries and staying far from populations that don't revolve around beating things up. An interstellar conflict is going to likely strike cities first, and by the time the 'real warriors' arrive, countless lives are already lost without the opportunity to stay clear. Poof, there goes all the innovation your race is hoping to steal.
Having the technology to flee from these brutish invaders requires those with enough time to become educated enough to build space flight and more, which is impossible if you spend all day every day being a Neanderthal. Nature will catch up with the parasitic invader species. When they run into something stronger than them, or no more races to steal from, they will be sacrificed on the altar of progress instead.
[There's a pause. Knives doesn't like rambling this much, especially at complete strangers.]
By the by, how is your warrior race faring? Spreading across the stars in an unstoppable wave of thievery and thuggishness, I assume.
