Yeah planning while they watched the Atlantic wall being built, they were certainly doing a lot of planning when they refused to ally with the USSR against Germany before the war too, and during the Phoney War, that must have taken a lot of planning as well.

By the end of the war, something like 1/3 of the USSR's trucks were from lend-lease. If the USA were more troubled by the existence of the USSR than nazi-occupied Europe, they wouldn't have sent the soviets anything.
