“And we all know who won that little spat.”
Certainly not the Soviets. They needed the USA to prop them up and bail them out.
And the Soviets tried the same approach in the Cold War vs the USA going the quality approach, and the Soviet approach failed there also. As it is failing against quality Western weapons again in Ukraine.

It would be an interesting hypothetical to see how the Eastern Front would have turned out without the US aid to the Soviets. I suspect they still would have reached Berlin, just a little later.
In a way it’s like the French help during our Revolution. We probably still would have won in the long run.
