@Rockin Robbins:
He also seems to have conveniently omitted that, unlike the Soviet Union who was fighting a one front war, The United States was fighting both the Germans and the Japanese on two vastly opposing theaters. Stalin was begging the allies to open a second front to relieve the pressure on his own. Contrastingly, he didn't enter the war with Japan until the final few days of the war when Japan was already defeated. He also fails to mention the Military aid rendered to the Soviets by the American Arsenal of Democracy (Tanks, Jeeps, Trucks, Oil, Planes, Artillary, Samll Arms, etc., etc.). During the early phases of Operation Barbarossa, the United States sent millions of tons of supplies to the Soviets. The Soviet Navy was non existent. By the end of 1943, the United States Pacific Fleet alone was bigger than the navies of all the warring powers combined. In order to invade Normandy, the United States stocked all of it's supplies in England. In the Pacific, we carried the equivalent of England on ships, from one island invasion to another. The Soviets could never, ever, equal the industrial/technological might of the United States. Their rusting, idle, hazard ridden, hulks of cold war era subs is in stark contrast the the most advanced subs now roaming the oceans, compliments of the USN. ![]() Quote:
