At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Stalin didn't make alliance with us but with Hitler as proven by the document signed by Ribbentrop and Molotov. After the two totalitarian gentlemen betrayed each other, Stalin graciously agreed to accept our desperately needed help while being crushed to pulp by the Wehrmacht. (As an aside, Stalin held up critical war materiel from reaching the Russian troops while the "Made in America" stamp was ground away.)
I will, of course, go to my grave still hearing the nonsense about how we were allied to Russia in WWII but, just the same, I'll continue to contradict it at every turn while I draw breath.
Well, we were not “allied” with Britain and France during WWI, but “associated” with them.So the Soviets were “associated” with the West?
