Nato is a military force comprised of some EU nations. They do not dictate economic policies in the union or to other European countries.

Opportunistic businesses in Europe would steal the moment to acquire Chinese made goods and resell them in the US. Would US impose sanctions on them as well?

Those european countries will then get no protection from United States which means they will get taken over and have their economy and nation destroyed. Russia would love to take over some of those EU countries.

You really think Russia want to get in wars? Russia has no hungry military industrial complex to feed like the US.

If anything, Boeing, Northrup Grumman and other American companies would sell their bellic products to the europeans behing US back.

Russians wouldn't want to sever ties with their biggest energy consumers. They're not some troglodytes from the 80's action movies.

Ucranian agression was done for economic and military survival of Russia. Not because they were bored at Kremlin. Ukraine was not an ideal customer for them like the EU countries.
