That depends on which alliance is helping the particular victim and how they choose to enact the article quoted below.
[b]That could mean contacting an alliance who's member is raiding a unaligned nation to try to find a diplomatic solution (say if the nation who attacks refuses to peace out). It also means that military force may be used at the signatory's discretion if they so choose. Though I find it unlikely that that particular option will be used against any alliance. It's much more likely to affect those unaligned nations who refuse to stop attacking another.[/b]
I'm not sure how you figure we'll be bullying anyone.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but diplomacy to protect nations, military force, sounds alot like, gasp, the functions of an alliance except perhaps optional. Your taking the basic function of an alliance, the only difference is that the members dont have to contribute back.
I can only hope this ends up a complete failure
