Why doesn't Russia declare war on the US after all the Military Aid being sent to Ukraine?

Before they attacked Ukraine the second time, Russia had a GDP smaller than the state of Texas by itself. Texas isn't even the largest state GDP in the USA. The US military budget is 3/4ths of the entire Russian GDP. There is no contest. Russia is a bad joke.

Russia is currently the second most powerful military force, with combined air, naval and ground forces, in the entire territorial area of Ukraine.
