Hitler & Stalin invaded Poland in September 1939. The US didn't enter the war for two years after that, and it took the Pear Harbor attack to do it.

Isolationists prevented assistance to Britain for most of that time. The Lend-Lease compromise wasn't passed until March of 1941.

Who taught you history?

Do you think in 1939 we should’ve charged into the war in Europe? I was not aware that we were party to a treaty with Poland or England.
And you’re full of bulls squirt, we were breaking grounds on all kinds of war production, and ramping up during that period. In late summer of 1940 we started construction on the Willow run bomber plant. We were already building liberty ships in 1940 for British contracts.
It’s dishonest to say we did nothing to help England during battle of Britain. We just didn’t join the war, and the American people did not support doing so at that point.

WTH are you talking about? When the war started, we had the Cash and Carry program. Britain just about bankrupted itself buying armaments from us. That was the main reason for Lend-Lease.
