If you're going to be contrarian about something like that, you have to provide some sort of rationale for it, otherwise you're just throwing red meat out there and inviting downvotes.

This goes 1000x over for touchy issues where you can be easily misinterpreted as expressing a pro-Nazi or pro-USSR viewpoint. Forums are discussions, not polls where all anyone cares about is the quantity of opinions on either side. And if you don't care about people misinterpreting you, there's no point in expressing yourself publicly to begin with. Like, literally no point. The whole purpose of forums are to communicate your ideas to other people, not to rep yourself. The more controversial and easily-misinterpreted your stance is, the more important it is to back it up with information and explanations.

Go on. That flat answer adds nothing.

So what, they should have just ceded control of the pacific to the Japanese after Pearl Harbour?

They should have ignored Germany declaring war on them?

Or do you mean they never should have participated in lend/lease and dealing with the allies?

I'm curious, are you saying that America should not have responded militarily to the attack at Pearl Harbor, or to the declaration of war on it by Germany?

The US was provoking both Germany and Japan. Presumably if we'd actually wanted to stay out of the war we would have stuck to our own knitting.

The US was "lending" warships to the UK, and American destroyers were dropping depth charges on German submarines in an effort to get supplies the Germans were trying to choke off to the UK. In the North Atlantic we'd already joined the war, if unofficially and not wholeheartedly. This is one of the reasons Hitler decided to honor his ally's request to make it official.

In the Pacific US forces were essentially blockading Japan's oil supplies in an effort to force the Japanese out of Manchuria. Japan had to go to war with the US or give up any imperial ambitions (and we knew that wasn't going to happen).

The US embargo of Japan wasn't a blockade and wasn't really an aggressive move. It was a move to not participate in unchecked expansion of Japan by brutal means. Not giving into the whims of monsters isn't provoking them in the slightest.

That's just like saying that France and England started the war because they declared war on Germany when they invaded Poland.
