You really don't have to act like world politics were uniquely better in the past, dude.

Well, atleast in the past a war with Germany wouldn't threaten billions of dollars in trade with Germany. There just wasn't much international trade going on, compared to now atleast.
And also there's the fact that, you know, there was a war in the end. UK and France guaranteed the independence of Poland and when Germany entered Poland they felt forced to honor that guarantee... Somehow I don't see a scenario where that outcome would be replicated... Like what would China have to do for the west to decide that had have to act strongly towards China? Annex Taiwan? Mongolia? North Korea? South Korea? When is the limit reached? Is there a limit? And what would the response be? Would it actually be strong enough that it would force China to care? I highly doubt that...
