Frankly, Hitler had less time to kill than Stalin. The Nazis were just as good (even superior) at genocide as the Soviets. And why does everyone seem to forget that the Soviets and Nazis were allies when they JOINTLY invaded Poland? Hitler went east AFTER he had beaten the French and had the Brits on the ropes (and after the United States began supporting the British war effort). While the U.S. may have been seen as majority isolationist SOMETIME before Pearl Harbor, I believe the tide had already turned before December 1941. Americans had already been instrumental in the sinking of the Bismark, and the Americans and Germans were sinking each other in the Atlantic before Hitler declared war. American military equipment were already being shipped to Britain and the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union was very popular (at the time) among the Progressives in the USA. And the progressive movement was very strong, Henry Wallace was Vice President. And FDR was correct in fighting against the Nazis in the undeclared war the U.S.A. fought before December, 1941.
