Funding Russia war machine is bad for the USA we never should have been importing oil from them in the first place. Now that we have committed two acts of war against Russia it is definitely time to cut ties and dependency on them. Sending military arms to one party of a belligerent is an act of international warfare that has been true for hundreds of years it’s up to the aggrieved if they call the third party out on it but it doesn’t make it less of an act of war. Secondly economic warfare is yup you guessed it an international act of war again it’s up to the aggrieved how they respond. We are for all purposes in a state of war with Russia one side will formally declare their intentions at some point. Probably when missiles start to hit Poland or Germany. Russia will start attacking the third party supply lines as is their right under the laws of war. We bombed Laos plenty during Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trial as a famous example. Laos was never a belligerent party to the Vietnam conflict.
I am so screwed.

That’s exactly what they’re hoping Putin will do before he’s done. It’s noticable that Biden and NATO speeches are always peppered with warnings of “if” Putin does this or that, and how they will assuredly respond. They draw non -distinct lines so that if and when they’re ready they’ll respond.
