Mercy is about all there could be left for the USA at this point. If it is not to go to hell forthwith.

...although it would have been much more costly and hard-fought.
The USSR did suffer some minor casualties, somewhere around 20-22 million

Mostly due to Stalin’s incompetence and brutality.

Socialism/Communism and National Socialism sure are deadly, aren’t they?

Given that a Satanic Mass is about to be performed at Harvard, I believe we’re fast heading towards having to do penance for throwing God’s just mercy away on the Devil.

Russia served as a way to drain German resources and distract the German military command.

The people who voted Obama in are the ones destroying the country with what you’ve just described.

By the time the US entered the war, Russia was legendary for being the place where German soldiers knew that they would not be allowed to live as hostages. They would be killed and in very painful ways. In fairness to Russia, Russia did in many ways drain the energy of the German military. Hitler made the same mistakes, but Russia took one of the biggest hits of WWII. If not the biggest hit.

The US, by choices, has moved so disgustingly against and away from God that that something like this could be fathomable, much less actually carried out, is beyond the pale.

As if the US would make Harvard stop?
Sorry to break it to you but this has not been a theocracy. Ever.

Yet they were fighting while we manufactured and supplied. I’m not going to dump on Russia or ignore Russia’s huge sacrifice.

No of course not, nor should we be, but really, I never imagined Harvard would do something like this.

We were fighting all over the world while we manufactured and supplied. If you want to lionize Stalin and the Red Army, go right ahead, I can't stop you. They treated prisoners and civilians far worse, in the main, than either the Axis or Allied powers ever did. If you want proof, read any detailed history of that period.
