The US sanctions Russia, Iran, North Korea etc..

The US is starting to put some restrictions that probably
can be compared to sanctions on China as well.

I am pretty sure that US has not put any sanctions on its
traditional allies.

So should the US back in 1940 had ditched the UK and
"competed with Germany as business rivals" or during the
cold war ditched Europe and "competed with USSR
as business rivals"?

I don't think so.

And why should the US do so with Russia or China today??

Maybe.

But other countries seems closer.
