Since we are on the top of the food chain and thus the strongest we must hunt down and exterminate this species of ant before it enslaves us!

Ants were observed actively choosing to attack larger, better defended colonies over smaller, weaker ones.
I would submit that if they are able to bypass these defenses they aren't all that good to begin with.
