This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The USSR lost more, spent more, and was more affected and effective than the USA in WWII.

Deleting the USSR from your history makes that history wrong and dumb.

Straight facts.

How can they "spend more" than the US? They were literally given materiel and money by the US. The money the USSR spent was from the West.

The European war was fought with Russian troops, British intelligence, and American money. Also, there was an entire other war in the Pacific that the US fought at the same time. It's not possible for the Soviets to have spent more, just based on that fact alone.

We're talking about spending money on the war. The Soviets fought Japan for a period of 26 days:
