Kind of like the United States did with Britain and Russia before Pearl Harbor ...

Kind of, though I would think Britain was a few levels above Nazi Germany. Lend-Lease to Russia didn't really kick off until the U.S. was in the war.

True, but there was a good deal of equipment that was shipped to Britain that ended up being trans-shipped over to Russia before our entry.

And don't mistake what I'm saying: I truly idolize Winston Churchill and am extremely thankful for the British defiance ... but I also believe that Francisco Franco, like Augusto Pinochet, were men of their times that were needed to save their countries.
