Is there anything to back up claims from Mearsheimer that Roosevelt pushed the Japanese to attack the United States and tried to get the US into WW2? [closed]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPe5f5dcrGE&list=WL&index=16&t=2507s - In this video, at 1:20:05 (and a little bit of the part preceding it), Mearsheimer claims that Roosevelt "was deeply committed" to get the United States into the second world war and "pushed the Japanese to attack us."

Why would it have benefited the USA to enter the war, and what conditions were created to push the Japanese into attacking the United States?
