WWII propelled the US to it’s current position as the only real superpower. The US benefited tremendously in some critical ways.
Also, the bigger of the oceans between the countries didn’t stop Japan from destroying a huge portion of the US Navy. If they weren’t proactive in responding, it could have been much, much worse. Japan could have solidified it’s initial gains and used the territory and resources to grow even stronger, and the Nazis weren’t far from having the bomb.
Isolationism is a nice ideal in some ways, but it’s not viable anymore.
If they only had to focus on the Easter front they would have had more resources and way more time. If the US sat on its hands it would only be a matter of time until they faced a much stronger Germany armed with nukes.

Yeah, I feel bad for the young men forced into the trenches.
We learned from WWII that appeasement doesn’t work, and that democracies need to stand together to defend our freedom.
