When I read: "We need to divest our manufacturing from China."
I parse it as: "We need war with China".
Because soldiers don't cross borders goods cross.

Perhaps it was the exception that proves the rule.
It was a cute phrase but I see how it might lead to missunderstandings. Thanks for pointing that out. As for whether that more elaborate position applies to the Russian-Ukranian situation. Yes it does
The Russians have not declared war on Ukraine. They are engaging in a purely illegal invasion. Ukraine has not declared war on Russia and has not attempt any occupation of Russian territory.
