Whose industrial machine propped up the Russians with tanks and airplanes and helped them hold the German's out of Moscow before the winter stopped them cold?
Who stopped Patton's 3ird Army by shutting off his gas, to let the Russians
take Moscow? Once the US and British armies got into Europe they darn near ended the war in one year.
The Russians suffered immeasurably but it was just as much Stalin's doing as Hitler's. The jerk had been starving his own people for years and throwing his Army commanders in jails or shooting them.
England was in the war because of mutual defense pacts with Poland and France.
Russia was in because they were attacked, which is why we went in. (simply stated, much
more to it than that)
Who said "perfect world" in the US? Yes, we are suffering now from the evils of Capitalism and a so-called 'Free Market'. Unless one has a good job with skills or the right education, it is tough to make good
money.
