How can you purport to understand geopolitics when you make such comments? Obviously, WW2 was America's fight. If Hitler had been able to defeat the UK and the USSR, that would be a major world hegemon capable of challenging the US on its own turf.
Yeah, I don't think that was the point. The US didn't create the situation with Hitler, it was just forced to act (in its own interests) because of the incompetence of Europe. It became the US's fight.
A better argument you could put forth is that the US wasn't great on the Hitler-enabling front anyway. He seemed to be a pretty popular figure here before he went off-script and started murdering people.

Was he? Everything I've seen is that people disliked Hitler, they just did not support a war to stop him.
