USA provided munitions before WW1 and Germans took out the Lusitania after warning Americans not to set sail on that boat.

Providing munitions to non-NATO country is meddling and could be considered an act of war. Where is USA Congress to vote on this war?

There is absolutely no relevant precedence for the supplying of weapons to a country at war to be considered an 'act of war'. It just isn't a thing.

The US Congress has repeatedly voted to approve those arms sales and transfers.
