‘‘We won in WW2 because we were fighting on the same side as the USSR, and thus did not have our Communists at home sabotaging our efforts.”
I hate to argue the narrative that the USA won world war 2, but the Russians really won the war. They had the most casualties (20,000,000 versus 500,000). The US was simply put in a position to not be defeated because we got in the war late. DDay might have been a different story if hitler didn’t have troops in the east.. What is also interesting is that the USA did give the Russians food and equipment while they gave up lives.
The Russians supplied the bodies, but the US supplied the equipment and supplies. Inflation-adjusted, about $180 billion worth, without which they would have lost.
