    I shit you not, there’s a good chunk of this country that thinks russia is or was aligned with nazi germany and telling them they were actually allied would blow their mind. It just so happens that person is JDPON Don in this case.

      So many western brainworms don’t understand the Soviets, China, Korea, Vietnam, Mexico, India, Brazil, Cuba, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, and a dozen other countries were all part of the Allies. They all contributed troops across several theaters, not to mention resources and weapons. And some of them were fighting the Axis Powers years before France, Great Britain, and the US (China and Ethiopia being prime examples).

      It was a collective effort by millions of people to end the war, end the Holocaust, and overthrow fascist governments.

      Our schools all but teach this. The beginning of world war 2 is taught as “Germany and Russia team up to invade and divide Poland” and then they never really explain well that the USSR is a part of the allies. They act like Molotov-Ribbentrop was an alliance and not a “We won’t shoot you. Yet.”
