Not really.
US was fighting a proxy via China. Sending them money and munitions…that were used to attack Japan.
Japan didn’t just fukking attack out of nowhere.
Edit:
“Foreign aid began to flow to China as Japan stalled. Soviet dictator
Joseph Stalin saw a victorious Japan as such a threat to the USSR that he supplied arms to the Chinese nationalists, despite their battles with the communists. In 1940 and 1941,
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt extended credits to China to purchase military supplies and included the country in the
Lend-Lease program. In August 1941, the United States further hampered Japan’s ability to fight in China by halting its trade of aircraft, oil and scrap metal, an embargo that was among the reasons
why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.”
