It's kinda funny when Ukrainian fascists had promoted idiotic view that USSR=Russia and Ukraine was an occupied country instead of an equal part, and now meet consequences of this view.
Yeah, leave it to a Ukrainian flag username to erase the heroism of the Ukrainians in the Red Army in order to fellate the Americans
Spitting on the graves of antifascist heroes to honor not-Hitler is a liberal tradition
Liberals erased actual Ukrainian history with random fascists who committed massacres for a few years before dying.
their grandfathers would shoot them with a smile
Really funny to see all the MAGA patriots going to bat for the Soviet Union in the replies
That’s only because Trump is doing it. If Biden did it they’ll call him a Stalinist
For sure, hilarious nonetheless
bizarro horseshoe theory
If it ends with some of them seeing through anticommunist propaganda, it would be very funny.
No shot, they are doing it purely out of reflex because Trump said it
It won't. They'll just use this as a "gotcha lib owned with facts and logick" and forget about it in 5 seconds.
The consequences of Orange Man Bad Thought.
TBF the “America single-handedly defeated the Nazis with the English as a goofy sidekick and Russia somewhere off to the side” predate Trump by decades.
It's what I was taught in school.
They updated it again.
Voice of America lmao literal CIA source.
hahaha i caught that too

'yeah the other dudes contributed i swear but the soviets got 76% of the germans so you can say they did some things'
They only did 80% of the work!
'yeah but i gave him a pencil so i basically did the whole project' <- a sentence that would rightly get your ass kicked
Real "group project but one person does 80% of the work, including the most difficult parts" vibes
With straight up US propaganda from VOA
Guys give him a break. He’s Forbes’ Top Economic Thinker. It’s not his fault he’s stupid.
Wait this isn't just some random shithead?
You use the flag of a country that openly celebrates a Nazi collaborator. Sit this one out and think about that
stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin
The United States beat Hitler with the help of Captain America, Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch and The Whizzer
Ukr flag emoji
The guy is doubling down by trying to say Ukraine and Belarus lost more combatants than Russia and also Germany wouldn't have been defeated without the US and UK.
Yeah except the Nazis were already retreating from the eastern front by the time D-Day happened. The US and UK were instrumental in getting the Nazis out of France and Italy, but the troops marching into Berlin were Soviets.
This guy is a PhD and works for Forbes? Quality intellectuals that America has crafted. We have our own self-replicating ghoul class who aren't even cynical even more, they legit believe all the ghoul propaganda.
the allies certainly helped with the defeat for sure but comintern did all the heavy lifting
he's doubling down now too lmao https://twitter.com/rshereme/status/1760846175366779018
I can’t view this bird brain thread without an account so I’m just gonna assume that his points are nothing of importance
Correct, it was the USSR
Including the Ukraine, which this man has in his pfp. smh this anti ukraine man is doing putins work for him smh.
It actually gets really ghoulish:
1/ First, the Soviet Union included, not only russia, but another 14 countries. Ukraine alone lost over 8 million people in WW2. As a percentage of population, Belorussia lost 25% and Ukraine 16% of its population, while russia only 12%.
I think he got those numbers by including civilian genocide victims.
2/ Second, just because the Soviet Union had the most causalities, doesn’t mean that they won the war. The reason Soviets had such large casualties is because they used people as cannon folder. Something russia is still doing today.
And doing more apologia for literal Nazi genocide of Slavs to own the ruskies
3/ Third, the Red Army was poorly equipped and heavily relied on the US support. Through the lendlease, the US has provided over 400,000 trucks, 14,000 airplanes, 13,000 tanks, and more.
Now list total tanks, and maybe who drove them.
If dumping military equipment was a magic spell to make the side with the richest sponsors win, then what's going on in Ukraine?
4/ Forth, Nazis were defeated only after the second front was open. Nazis had to fight against the US, UK, and all their allies.
So, it is plain stupid to attribute victory over Hitler to russia.
The front that never would have opened were it not for Molotov-Ribbentrop, which I'm sure this same prick will call Nazi collaboration (unlike Bandera, who was just doing what he had to in order to own the ruskies)
Such a fucking waste of space
Our big wet comrade.
Our Big Wet Comrade gave a speech about the bourgeoisie
Literally overheard 2 guys arguing about this in a parking lot just now lol
Most well read liberal.
I mean, the USSR did, which included a lot of Ukrainians such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
Westerners and now recently modern Ukraine has been pushing hard to separate all Ukrainian history from the USSR aside from being "oppressed." So naturally the average burger will think USSR = Russia = Russia did everything good or bad in WWII.
i remember a really good graph from a history book(?) showing public opinion every few years in response to the question "who is most responsible for the defeat of germany in ww2" and in 1945, it was like 80%+ of respondents saying USSR, but as the years go by, USSR's share shrinks, and the US' increases.
Holy Propagada. How can people forget such things.
History is written by Hollywood
love that 911 made the US bar go even higher for a bit
God damn this country is so fucking stupid and propagandized. Automatons Assemble!
