As it turns out the US actually lost WW2. Well how about that?

WW2 and Cold War.

>>timeon+9
WWII, sure. Cold War, fat chance - the USSR was defeated by the mujahideen and then succeeded by Yeltsin and a bald ape that killed 800,000 trained men to take 1/3rd of Ukraine.

>>Fricke+(OP)
Well the U.S. certainly isn't responsible for defeating the Germans. That honor belongs to the Soviets.

As for the nukes, pretty much exactly what the Nazis would have done if they had gotten some.

Ok you are right. But lets see what current US administration is going to do.

The Soviets got a lot of aid from the West, and if it were not for Normandy and opening a new front against Nazi Germany in France, the Soviets might not have had the outcome they did.

As an aside, this YT channel has the best series I've seen on WW2. They go through the war, week by week, telling all that happened that week. There are several mini-series like Crimes Against Humanity and Spies and Ties. The production quality is really good too

They are doing one on the Korean War right now

Peace in Ukraine isn't contingent on US support. Their allegiance with America is one of the last things stopping them from attacking Russia's crude oil fleets and sending Russia's economic backbone into a suicide spiral: https://oec.world/profile/country/rus#yearly-trade

Truly, Donald Trump could decide tomorrow to refuse audience with Zelenskyy and only meet with Putin. Russia's treasury would be hemorrhaging within a week and the government would be paralyzed in the middle of an active invasion. That would be dangerous for America and NATO allies, but what does that concern a non-member like Ukraine after all?

Russia has spent 30 years on life support. America and Ukraine simply disagree on how we pull the plug.
