We also provided the naval support (ie armed forces) needed to get that equipment from here to there. We exchanged technology and information, most notably the Norden bomb sight, some ciphering technology & equipment as well as information gathered through spys. This was done because FDR and his administration was committed to defeating the Nazis even while the opinion polls showed the American people were overwhelmingly isolationist (so much for popular opinion). We were in fact "in the war" years before we "declared war".

Well everything you are saying does not apply to the French at all. The war has not even started yet. They just are not agreeing with the purpose of the war that the U.S. is using to justify the war to the United Nations. They are a member of the UN Security Counsel and disagree with the methods that the U.S. are taking. Not much different than what we did during the beginning of World War II. And the French have offered help to the U.S. and Britain if the war took a certain turn. And if we did not give things to these 30 countries, they would not be backing this effort either.
