A bit of both, but Germany was 100% in the wrong.

Has there ever been a single time in history when the United States is not an opportunist bastard?

What could the US do to stop them from annihilating each other? Early 1942 the US had their hands tied with Japan. What could they have possibly have done to stop it?
