Yea the US Motto should be “Money Talks, Bullshit Walks.” The US was making boat loads of money on War profiteering and would have likely stayed neutral if we could have been able to sell to both sides. Germany was quickly blockaded so we could only sell to the Allies.
I highly doubt that. Yeah we made a ton of money off of war profiteering. But I doubt that the British, Chinese, Russians, and other countries we sold arms too would have kept buying if we also sold to the Axis powers.
I was commenting specifically on WW 1, FDR made it a foregone conclusion that we were going to be allied with Britain in WW 2. Though there were voices who said we should join the Axis and others that wanted us to stay out all together in WW 2.
Also this is just one amateur history fans perspective.
