to quote an old reddit comment:
There is no doubt that the US was going to enter the war before Pearl Harbor. Not only was American aid to the Allies massive (and increasing month by month), but the U.S. was already effectively at war with Germany - by mid-1941 American ships were escorting British convoys with orders to shoot German ships/aircraft on sight. There's a reason Hitler declared war on the US when he had no obligation to. Germany and the US were already in direct conflict.
More to the point, collaborative war planning had been going on long before Pearl Harbor. [The ABC-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.%E2%80%93British_Staff_Conference_(ABC%E2%80%931)) Conference for example outlined the broad strokes of Allied strategy for the rest of the war.
There is no reasonable scenario where the US would not have entered the war.
...
Yes, there were plans for if we joined before we joined.
Like, that's what a functional government does, plan things in case they happen.
Only planning for things you know will happen is absolute insanity.

While it did cross into the majority of Americans (68%) thinking we should join the Allies, it was due to the belief Germany wouldn't stop with Europe.
Pearl Harbor settled the debate on if America would be left alone.
It wasn't for "various reasons".
... Yes for average Americans, yes. Again, I'm talking about FDR and other political leaders

I didn't expect you to read the link, that's why I quoted part of it...
But I at least hoped you'd read that
If you refuse to read, there's no point in trying to help you understand anything.
The quoted portion, from my perspective added nothing, but I might of misinterpreted it, so please explain
