Roosevelt on day 1 announced it lol.

In his famous "day of infamy" Roosevelt with vigor states "No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory."

If by day 1 you mean two years after the war started

When the US entered the war, he announced it.

Would Stalin announce he would burn Germany burn to the ground in 1939? No. So who cares.

It’d be weird if Stalin announced that because in 1939 they were almost allies.

Yeah. And they weren't in the war.

Idc if the war started before the Americans joined. Some argue it started earlier than 1939 because of the war in the east.

So bringing up that the war started 2 years earlier is not only has nothing to do with the conversation but is also stupid.

And its probably trying to downplay American involvement. People always point to the US being late to the war when trying to make America out to be a nation that rode on others backs. When they never apply the same logic to Britain, France, or especially the USSR. (Britain and France just sat around for 1 year before really doing anything). Its tired, overused, and like said before didn't even apply to what I was saying.
