Uh...you still haven't refuted much of my argument. Yeah, we lent-leased the Russians some stuff, but utlimately, it was the Russian who won the war in Europe.
And your Japan reference doesn't make much sense, actually. If Japan would have gone after Russia, not likely considering the depth from the Soviet Far East to Moscow, then wouldn't the Japanese be then fighting a three front war - China, Siberia, and the Pacific? Japan hardly had "considerable manpower resources", as you suggested - she had barely had enough to fight a two front war, China and the Pacific, much less opening a third front. If Japan had attacked Russian, it would probably get bogged down just as they did in China ultimately - the lines of communication was just too long for them to do much to Russia... |
