Because war is hell. Much better to decouple and let them go their own way. We need a balanced economy with jobs for the entire country not just coastal "elite"
It's not much better, it's losing in a different way and/or postponing the inevitable while they gain more power and resources to do more damage. Communism and capitalism can not co-exist. There will be inevitable conflict and a victor one way or another.
Oh you mean the damage done by the research that we paid for in Wuhan? Fausi funded that lab in Wuhan for the express purpose of virus research. The US government is just as responsible.
You must not remember the terrorism, omnipresent in the 1980's, known as Mutually Assured Destruction. You don't just start "dropping bombs" on nuclear-armed near-peer nation-states.
Been saying since last summer, we should have proclaimed all debt to China and Chinese companies cancelled, and confiscated all Chinese assets within our sphere of influence, imposed at least 100% tariffs on Chinese goods coming in, and expelled all CCP members. Oh, and stop all immigration at least until our unemployment rates are below 3% (though I wouldn't be upset if that number was lowered).
I've been saying this was an act of war from the get go! Crying to the Heavens!

So we are at war with China already and our "leadership" is loaded with traitors.
Any bombs would probably be dropped on us.
Been asking this question for a year.

Dropping bombs clearly doesn't work.
We should just close trade completely.
You answered your own question.
They have a pretty serious military and they have nuclear weapons.
Thanks Nixon and Kissinger.
If you are asking this question, you have not been paying attention. What you just asked is why criminals don't shoot themselves.

Because we'd only fuck ourselves because half the shit we use is made there now.
