Basically saying, if they werent themselves at war with the US then I dont personally see a need for them to expediate forces to the Aleutians. i think the Japs would have steamrolled through Manchuria, The Philippines and even (as they did) go for Singapore. that would have brought them into conflict with the British and who knows, they may even ended up figting WITH the us. You never know what bedfellows you're going to end up with in global conflict. I don't think Frank and Winston thought they'd be sleeping so intimately with Uncle Joe in 1939.
But you could just as easily be right, its all hypothetical.
