“You’re right. But...”

No “but”:
“little boy, fat man” = overwhelming force.

“Russian, yadda yadda yadda...” The Russians were totally dependent on the U.S.A. for food and materials, and having so many casualties is not something to be proud of. The Russians were able to move their eastern troops to the west because the U.S.A. was fighting Japan.

The only countries that came close to the U.S.A. in WWII were England and Germany, and they were distant seconds.

All those “Nazi secret weapons” you hear about? The U.S.A. had ten for every one they had. The atomic bombs (we didn’t just have one, we had two entirely different designs), the B29 (a bigger, more expensive project than the atomic bombs), radar, code breaking, logistics, proximity fuses, ...

There is simply no comparison. It was not a contest. It could have gone worse. It could have gone better. But, it was going to go to victory for the U.S.A.

“The Russians were able to move their eastern troops to the west because the U.S.A. was fighting Japan.”

The Soviets moved 18 divisions and 1700 tanks from the Far East to the Moscow front starting in early November 1941.
The Moscow counteroffensive, using these troop, began Dec 5 1941. We were not at war with Japan at the time.

Umm, a bit over the top with some of your comments. But, I’ve been to enough rodeos to know when there’s no upside in a debate. Later 😉
