The facts are that the U.S. knew the attack on Pearl Harbor was imminent since the Jap code had already been broken.
That seems conclusive as fact at this point.
FDR knew that he needed an angry America to fight and win the war that, I suppose, he saw as inevitable. The America First movement was strong at that time, and by allowing the "sneak attack" to occur as he did, he signed the death warrant of some 3000 people, mostly servicemen, but also that of Japan itself as it had no realistic way of winning vs the USA.
Perhaps fitting that FDR did not live to see the end of the war that he had a hand in starting, or at least, failed or refused to avert.

After all, we were selling all of our scrap steel to Japan during the 1930s. How do you think they could build all of those ships?
We cut off oil shipments to Japan also, which further infuriated them. This led to the island hopping campaign as the Japs searched for more raw materials to fuel their war machine. ;)
