the US preferred the Axis to the Soviet Union, but strongly supported the UK over Germany.

They also strongly favored the Republic of China over Japan.

Iirc, one of the reasons for Pearl Harbor was the Oil embargo on Japan.

Does “what no theory does to a motherfucker” apply here?

That’s simply not true. The US began providing Lend-Lease aid to the USSR in 1941 before entering the war.

I mean before the Nazis invaded the USSR. Public opinion was very anti-Soviet before then.

Anti-Soviet, but still more anti-Nazi. Worth remembering that in the UK the populace was far and away supportive of close ties to the Soviets even after the Pact was signed. There was a downturn for the Winter War but then an uptick again. France however did go off the deep end.

if the soviets didn’t want or appreciate the help they would not have accepted it.

theres a very long way from ‘the soviets would not have been defeated without lend-lease’ to ‘lend lease was meaningless’ and that distance is measured in tens of thousands of soviet lives
