I left out Iran- probably the most important recipient of anti-aggression hardware in modern history.

Addlepate. The USS Liberty belonged to a third party and wasn't actively involved in the conflict when Izrael murdered its crew.

U.S. Sanctions China for Buying Russian Arms
Trump administration officials from the State and Treasury Departments imposed sanctions on China’s Equipment Development Department and its director, Li Shangfu, for buying Russian fighter jets and missiles.
China’s “significant transactions” with Russia’s state defense-equipment exporter, Rosoboronexport, included 20 Russian Sukhoi-25 fighter jets last year and S-400 surface-to-air missiles this year. The sanctions were explained by State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert in a statement:
The sanctions being imposed on EDD are a denial of export licenses; a prohibition on foreign exchange transactions under United States jurisdiction; a prohibition on transactions with the United States financial system; blocking of all property and interests in property within United States jurisdiction; and the imposition of sanctions on an EDD principal executive officer, its director Li Shangfu, which include a prohibition on foreign exchange transactions under United States jurisdiction, a prohibition on transactions with the United States financial system, blocking of all property and interests in property within United States jurisdiction, and a visa ban.

most ridiculous sanction yet. Telling China not to buy Russian arms is a non-starter.
It shows how stupid our Russian policy has become (my comment)
ecurity analysts in Asia said the move was largely symbolic and would only push Moscow and Beijing closer together.
“The imposition of U.S. sanctions will have zero impact on Russian arms sales to China,” said Ian Storey, of Singapore’s ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute.
“Both countries are opposed to what they see as U.S. bullying and these kind of actions will just push Beijing and Moscow even closer together,” he said, adding that Moscow needed Chinese money and Beijing wanted advanced military technology.
The world will be a far better habitat when ground-to-air defence becomes so advanced that it's impossible for attack aircraft to function.
We might even survive as a species.
