Yes, as an American, I would like to thank the Soviet Union for doing most of the heavy lifting against the Nazis and bearing terrible costs, while we sat on the sidelines for most of the war and then took credit for winning it.

This is disrespectful to all of the French, Canadian, British, Australian, Belgian, and American soldiers and sailors who lost their lives.

Everyone fought hard. Not sure any of those countries lost 20% of their entire population to the war (26million people), like the USSR did.

Fun fact, Stalin killed more Russians than Germany. Also, I think these stat tallies as a measure of participation or credit for a war is misguided at best. I'm not interested in a stat war. ✌️
