The weapons from the US will slow. The sanctions will stay though.
Maybe... but this war is exceptionally good for the US. Bleeding Russia dry and decreasing their influence in other theatres. Finland and Sweden desperate to join NATO. Justification for the huge defence budget. Tons of Republican backers make huge profits off weapons manufacturing, so I think it's questionable that they'll oppose any of this in a serious manner.
