You are thinking of Stalin and the USSR

I agree that they endured the greatest sacrifices to beat fascism, but any victory would have looked much different (in a bad way) without FDR and the US.

Do you think that I am anywhere close to saying that in this thread? What are you even trying to respond to?

Do you think that the Soviets would have had an easier time without US support in the war? Literally all I am saying ITT is that they would not have. Please give me a flow chart or something to explain how your message is a direct response to mine. I really don't understand.

I think it is actually on you to explain how the US made anything easier for the Soviet Union

Do you know how much materiel the US sent to the Soviets with Lend-Lease? "400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks." Do you think that opening multiple fronts against the fascists didn't "make anything easier?"

Do you think that all of this had no effect whatsoever? Do you think that this actually made it harder for them? Please do explain.

So we are just ignoring everything the US did to make it harder for the Soviets?

Like what? And please explain how they outweighed everything else.
