Russia keeps going on about how it beat the Nazis during WW2.
The truth is russia was getting crushed and would have gotten crushed completely without the help of the west.
In this thread I will tell you just some of the things we sent them.
#Ukraine #Russia #War #NAFO #NATO
22,000 Tanks.
Like the M3 Lee/Grant, M4 Sherman and British Valentine and Matilda tanks.
18,700 Aircraft.
Including bombers, fighters and transport planes.
These included the Bell P-39 Aircobra, Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, and different models of the Hawker Hurricane.
375,000. That's right 375,000 Trucks.
These trucks were the very backbone of Soviet logistics and transportation of troops.
We sent so many artillery pieces that we lost count! Somewhere in the hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces.
Including field guns, howitzers, and anti-tank guns.
Tens of millions of small arms.
Billions of rounds of ammunition.
Including rifles, submachine guns, pistols and machine guns.
Millions of artillery shells, mortar rounds and bombs.
Millions of tons of food, medical supplies, clothing and other materials was also delivered to the Soviets on a regular basis.
11 Billion dollars in cash which today is equivalent to 289 Billion ... in CASH!!!
This on top of sharing intelligence and many other things we did to support the Soviet Union during WW2.
As you can see all the aid we have provided to Ukraine so far is not even a fraction of the aid we provideed to the Soviet Union during WW2. Not even close!
And yet the Russians like to pretend they would have been just fine without all of this help from us. Think for yourself! No they wouldn't be. They would been crushed! In fact they were getting crushed before we started helping them with all this!
So the next time a Russian troll tells you they won WW2. Kindly point to this thread and tell them to STFU, because if it wasn't for us, Hitler would have taken all of Russia.
