Eh... as far as I know that is exactly what the US did, it minded it's own borders. They did some supplying to the Brittish before they entered but undoubtably made a neat profit in the process. (f.i. Sept. 3--United States trades 50 destroyers for naval base sites in British possessions) Then everything changed because the US was attacked by the German ally Japan (Nov. 25 1936 in below link). And only then it entered the war, at a very late state in Dec. 9 1941. The war had already been going a while by then.
