Well unless you think China can soundly defeat the US army in the span of week with minimal damage done to its economy and land, then by all means say "screw diplomacy." There are people on both sides who think their country is perfectly capable of doing it to the other. I'm just glad cooler heads while acknowledging both side's relations are at the point of no return, at the very least talking to avoid such an outcome is worth it.

Diplomacy only makes sense when both sides act in good faith. U.S. and its vassals never do, Minsk agreements being the prime example of that. They only use diplomacy as a tool of deception and to score cheap political points with their constituents by appearing "tough" against their geopolitical foe. Seriously what is the point of engaging with someone who will put on fake smiles one day and then proceed to disseminate disgusting lies about you committing human rights abuses /carrying out genocide and openly call for your containment the next day ?
