What if America told the UK this isn't our war in WWII. Our boys died for the UK.
We did, until Churchill suckered FDR into Lend-Lease and violating the terms of neutrality.
America was very reluctant to get involved in another European war in 1939, largely due to the isolationist sentiment stemming from the Great Depression and the memories of World War I. The public hugely favored non-involvement in foreign conflicts, believing it was unwise to engage in wars that did not directly threaten the United States. A 1939 poll indicated that 94% of Americans opposed entering the war.
Among others. But FDR and his cadre of Commies (like Harry Hopkins) wanted to take the pressure off Stalin after Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, you see.

FDR wanted to get the US into WWII
At first. Then his ardor cooled when the Nazi-Soviet pact was agreed. Not until the Ribbentrop Pact was cast aside was he gung ho again.
President Trump just embarrassed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in front of the world.
He stopped his press conference, pointed at the bust of Winston Churchill behind him — and made the comparison that stunned the media in the room.
TRUMP: “So yeah I’m disappointed with him. I like him, I think he’s a nice man but I’m disappointed.”
[Points to bust behind him] “You see that man right there? You know who that is?”
“That’s the late, great Winston Churchill, and Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in this office.”
“Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bust back to England. They didn’t want it.”
“And when I came in, I was asked if I wanted it. I said absolutely I wanted it, and I put it right there . Winston Churchill.”“
And you know…unfortunately Keir is not Winston Churchill.”
