    Neither of you are wrong, but Americans should understand that the USSR suffered over twenty million deaths vs ~117,000 Americans on the Western Front. They had their own western cities & infrastructure invaded/destroyed. The undertaking & sacrifices are hard to compare.

    Russians trying to rewrite history

    Okay my bad: you actually are wrong.

      It’s been a very common thing recently with Russian to claim the West basically did nothing in WW2.

      They are quite literally rewriting history in their classrooms.

      Now I won’t deny they took the brunt of the force and paid an absolutely huge price in lives.

      But op is trying to use WW2 as a way to say the US is bad. That we did nothing and only joined when it was basically over. It’s a super common Russian nationalist talking point right now.
