Well that’s nice, considering Russia pretty much bailed Britain’s butts out during WWII. Germany’s ill-fated decision to invade Russia took so much pressure off of Britain.

Hardly. Yes, “Germany’s ill-fated decision to invade Russia took so much pressure off of Britain,” but Russia was all for a German invasion of England and as much, if not more, of an enemy of England as the Nazis.
Russia didn’t “bail” anyone’s butts out but their own, and they would have fallen but for American supplies. The fact that the Russian front helped England is happenstance.
Russia started the war with Germany when they signed the Non-Aggression Pact.
Stalin knew it would start the war in the West.

Russia didn’t bail out anyone. They fought like hell to keep from going under. Winter and the USA saved their a$$e$ after Germany attacked them. If anything the USA bailed them both out with our amazing productive capacity and security behind two oceans.
Maybe Churchill was upset that Stalin reneged on the "Percentages Agreement" (a rather naive plan of Churchill's to divide Eastern Europe into Soviet and British spheres of influence).

If the Germans hadn’t invaded the USSR, it would have been a standoff between Britain and Germany.
Only after D-day did the British and Americans receive any benefit of so much of German Army being tied up in the USSR.
The USA bailed out the USSR. The USSR bailed no one out. They simply relieved the pressure.
Yes, we Brits had it so easy in WW2........
Russia had no intention of helping Britain, and Germany’s losses had nothing to do with fate (a Greco-Roman concept from idolatry).
