America was on the Nazis side right until the Japanese decided to attack them. Had that not happened, America would have either continued selling weapons to both sides, or would have joined the Nazis outright.
They’re not the fucking good guys and never have been.
Actually, FDR hated the nazis even before Japan bombed pearl habor. The rest of America was simply apathetic since it was a ocean away
Erm when did the US give the Axis Powers Weapons?

The history is a little more complex than giving weapons, but US-owned companies manufactured equipment for the Nazis. “The business of America is business” rings true.
“American managers of both GM and Ford went along with the conversion of their German plants to military production at a time when U.S. government documents show they were still resisting calls by the Roosevelt administration to step up military production in their plants at home.”
During the war, US bombing plans avoided American-owned factories. When they couldn’t, they compensated the companies for the losses inflicted.
Again, it’s complex, and fascinating in many regards, but the business interests that drive the US government were also building the Nazi war machine.
