The Soviet Union won about 70% of WWII. Get over it.

John,
No one doubts the Russians put in the biggest amount of work in Europe...but...WWII was also fought in the Pacific against Japan, which Russia didnt really participate in till the very, very, end...
so, I’ll give you the Russian 70% against Germany...we had about 90% of the War against Japan...net, net, the US made the greatest contribution to winning WWII...though Russia sacrificed the most lives.

JohnA,

You're certainly correct about massive Russian and civilian casulaties ... due to Stalin's inept military strategy and genocidal purges.
But don't mistake "carnage by the millions" for the better organized and more efficient victories by the U.S. and Great Britian ... across North Africa, Italy and France.
In comparison, all the Soviets had to do was watch Hitler made incredibly stupid decisions ... while a few murderous Russian Winters helped destroy the German Army campaigning in Russia.
A great Russian victory ... compared to the Allies ... or even the defeated Germans ?
What a myth !
The Russians faced "zero" logistical and supply hurdles, except the American and British convoys that sacrificed scores of merchant ships to bail-out Stalin.
Face it ... the Americas and the Germans were the "overall" best serious ass-kickers of WWII ... followed by the (otherwise) barbaric Japanese ...
