    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.

          Jacques Pauwels has a good book detailing both how the Allies' second front was indeed an attempt at capitalizing off of an inevitable Soviet victory (and mitigating Soviet influence in Western Europe in the aftermath), and also how little resistance the Allies faced on the Western Front because German soldiers were terrified of the Soviets and fled west to surrender/be protected by to the allies.
