As much as the USSR was an unpleasant character. Stating “thanks to the Us and the Uk” without mentioning the role of the red army in the victory against nazi germany is vastly inaccurate.
Just the fact that Germany had to handle two fronts, one of them exclusively fought by USSR should be an indicator of that.
Recent unwrapping of historical communication also show that the US army decide to use nuclear weapon on Japan to end the war; not that much because dragging war is bad for civilian. But also because the red army was starting to pivot to the Asian front. Being done with Europe.
Also, I was mainly talking about village / neighborhood knowing each other and not being as divided as here. But that’s still an interesting point.
