If it wasn’t for the supply shipments to Britain, they likely would have lost before things got close in the first place. Note it wasn’t just weapons but also food and medical supplies.

Edit: Also, the shipments were regularly attacked by German U-boats, so there absolutely was risk to American lives still.
