I've always wondered why Hitler would do something as stupid as declaring war on the U.S.

Because American corporate interests like Rockefeller and others were funding both the Germans and the Americans. In WW2 many of the German vehicles and tanks were Fords and General Motors. The Nazi's gave Henry Ford their highest award for a citizen. Hitler had a portrait of Ford in his office. The company Ford in fact sued the American government for bombing their german tank factories and they won the lawsuit. Bring these two military giants into conflict and oil and machinery profits skyrocket. All wars of the past two hundred years can be traced back by following the money. War is a huge moneymaker as well as being a huge wedge to convince the population that greater and greater centralization of political and economic power into the hands of a few is a good thing for the good of the citizens. Win-win. The League of Nations after WW1 and the UN after WW2 are two perfect examples. These organizations were planned way before either war ever started. Profits and power. That is what war is all about.
