WWII history is a hobby of mine and I have asked myself what would the most likely results have been ... if that ... or if this ... or the non-intervention of the U.S. thing had occurred. Many people I have talked about those sort of things, like me, almost always do have a quick response that seems as if they are dead solid in their belief. But then, most times, like me, they think of the incredible number of variables involved and it is impossible to predict, with any acceptable degree of accuracy, any certain result.
The list of possibilities is near endless, but every logical one points to an eventual Nazi - U.S. conflict, that as it did anyway, would have included Japan.
Even if the U.S. had signed neutrality packs with every nation in the world and tried the whole Swiss thing, eventually the day would have come when The Axis Powers would want the U.S. too. Unless the U.S. would just say, 'OK,' then there would be conflict.
The point being made, and the truth of it all, is that there was no way in the world that the U.S. would not eventually get swept into WWII.
So, with that being a given, you might as well go into the venture the very best you can when it begins, and if it turns out it needs much more, then give it all you've got and make it the very best you can so you can end things as quickly as possible, and that of course includes doing it on a timetable that can be achieved and that gives you the best possible probability for success, rather than having a higher probable chance of failure. You do all you can to turn as much of a disadvantage as possible into an advantage and you go from there.
In the end, all that really matters is what actually happened, and the true facts of it are well documented.
