What did you expect the west to do in this situation? Let Putin get on with it unscathed? This is the rational alternative to World War III.

The announced US policy was yes, to let Russia as a whole mostly get away with it, but to hit the Russian elite specifically with very harsh but specifically targeted sanctions. The red line was NATO territory + de facto NATO members like Finland, not Ukraine.
