Interesting question...for me there are personal considerations to it, but that's irrelevant.
Regardless of how much U.S helped Europe in WW2, and the fact Britain needed them, Germany wouldn't have been receptive to a country that wasn't or couldn't be receptive to them (they declared war on the U.S). If they hadn't invaded Russia, Russia alongside Germany could have been very threatening to the Americans. Hitler wasn't a strategist though, so it was never going to happen.
WW2 is really why the U.S became so powerful. It was a great political opportunity for them in many ways.
