Also I guess we've never heard of "the entirety of western Europe and the United states funding the Whites in the civil war that immediately preceded the world war"

hey you've got something in common with the reactionary old men i work with- a blind belief that the U.S. magically did all the work for the Soviets because they gave them a few trucks, as if the Soviets didn't also rebuild their entire industrial base mid war in a feat comparable to the U.S. losing the entire eastern seaboard only to pack up and move everything west of the appalachians (while, again, being literally less than 50 years removed from "being a dirt farming tsarist shithole with the worst industrialization in literally all of Europe")

I wonder what else you have in common with these worst losers i know.

oh by the way, definitely don't look up when the majority of aid arrived (after the Soviets already turned back the Germans and had pushed halfway to Berlin)

They won the battle of Moscow in 1941, honestly probably saving the entirety of Europe by blunting and turning back the German advance. By the time they won Stalingrad and Kursk the germans were literally halfway defeated.

All of that is prior to the vast majority of lend lease aid arriving. And when the aid arrives, lol, you have all these Russian military commanders talk shit about the quality. Wow, the U.S. gave something like 12000 tanks compared to the 120000 the USSR built. The Russians complained they were dog shit and wouldn't use them, lol

the best part is all of this info is readily available from Google's own llm in case you're too fucked to death stupid to think for yourself! it'll even tell you "this info is from pro western sources," because if you ewanna know what the Russians themselves thought of lend lease, it was "it was even more useless than that!"

I sure have. Here's a book produced by US military about it which makes it crystal clear that the program played a minor role in the war:

The importance of Allied aid to the USSR is greatly overstated.
