Britain isn't in immediate crisis, but it also doesn't have nearly the numbers needed to force a landing in Europe on its own. OTOH, with fewer British warships either sunk or damaged, or tied down running fast convoys to support Malta, the USN won't need to deploy as many ships in the Atlantic, and thus, will have more ships available for Pacific operations.War between Germany and America is coming, it is only a matter of time. Germany declaring war on America when it did in OTL was basically formalising the semi war that was already happening between the two countries. I think the same will hold true ITTL and Germany will declare war.
What could be an interesting change and one not discussed is America looking at the situation in Europe and comparing it with the situation in the East. With Britain on the ascendance in Europe and having secured all of North Africa (plus or minus the French bit) there may be a big push to "let Britain carry on" in Europe while America goes Pacific first. The practicalities of that notwithstanding it would likely make sense to quite a few people in America. After all Britain has shown it does not need massive help right now while Japan is overrunning the pacific (well most of it, Malaya should hold ITTL).
I doubt Allan will want to go down that route because it opens a massive can of worms and takes the TL on a massive and untrodden path. Is an interesting thought experiment though. Churchill left to dictate almost unopposed the course of the war in Europe with a (fairly) mighty British army at his disposal. Oh the trouble he could cause.
