    But what about the landlease and equipment the USA gave to the Soviet Union? You see since they were quality, American-made ammunitions they beat back the Nazis completely on their own.

    (Also please ignore that the Americans ragged up tons of unnecessary casualties and the beginning of their entry to the war because they were too arrogant to listen to anyone with experience and did stupid shit others already found out to not work)

      also please ignore Amerikan industrialists’ close relationships with the Nazis prior to the war 😳

      I love this argument too, because in reality the stuff the US sent was basically already shoddy and otherwise destined for decommission and of what did make it over to the Soviet Union in working order went mostly unused because Soviet military personnel deemed it unfit for combat.

        What, are you saying that the US would send a dear ally shoddy outdated equipment that they were going to get rid of? I cannot imagine that they would ever consider such a horrible thing.

        Right Zelensky?

          Yeah, they were sturdy enough to withstand the rough condtions and freed the Soviet productive forces to make other motorized equipment.
