Maybe you missed the news? The US was effectively at war with Nazi Germany BEFORE Pearl Harbor. In fact, Germany had grounds for a declaration of war under international law had it chosen to do so.

How about that destroyer deal? I think Mr. Churchill greatly appreciated them? And US Navy vessels providing escort to British merchant ships carrying war supplies? And Roosevelt's "shoot on sight" order regarding German subs?

Hitler probably issued that fatuitous declaration of war just so he could shoot back in a war already under way.
