So Musk outright supports the Nazis?

Recession? You've been listening to President Musk and Vice President Trump too much.
OK, but we’re not posing. We actually are defending western civilization, just as we did 80 years ago. You fvcks on the left are the ones preaching “burn it down!!!”
with the Soviets doing much of the heavy lifting

Soviets were lifting US planes, rifles, ammo, etc. And when we were done with the National Socialists, we saved the world from the Soviet Socialists.

definitely put that material along with what they produced themselves to good use. 8/10 German casualties were on the Eastern Front.
Because you don't even understand what people are saying when they say "let it burn" "burn it down" etc.
Actually I do. The meaning is self-explanatory. If you’re not saying what you really mean, then STFU.
Really? Which rifle?
They did get a small amount of western tanks, but they were considered junk compared to their own.
They made over 150,000 planes, and received relatively few from the West (and again, the obsolete stuff).
The important lend lease for them was really the unsexy stuff, like ~400,000 trucks and jeeps.
While the left is crying that elon is a nazi, their policy is propping up Islamic terrorism via unchecked mass immigration. Useless idiots.
That’s like asking FAU or Yellowsnow or whatever his handle is to stop being morbidly obese.
Nou.
I mean it.
Your political positions are actually cancer on society.
Stop being a sack of shit.
no, Im a cripple....a druggie, asshole cripple with a masters degree in a hard science.....I don't know many tards that could have down that as poor white trash from Kentucky.....so I can surmise that you also are a piece of shit human and will stand by that statement
look at this guy, he's shook
There ain't no such thing as halfway crooks
Probably right after Hillary's emails, Hunter's laptop, and the Mexican paid for wall. 🤣🤣
And instead of being proud of your achievements, you’re a misanthrope who’s mad at the world. How sad.
It doesn’t mean ‘some of the stuff I just said isn’t true’, but saying we sent them rifles isn’t true.
no, I'm mad that in the age of information dumb piece of shit humans elected an even dumber piece of shit human..........and they are so dumb that they think they did a good thing
Idiocracy is a documentary
If you want to get technical, we sent them some early model M1s and Thompsons (technically not a rifle). My grandfather helped load the shipments with the “funny letters” printed on them.

How many resources had to be poured into the Kriegsmarine to fight the Western allies?
How much by way of Luftwaffe resources had to be poured into trying to defend Ploesti? It was the 2nd most heavily defended place in Europe after only Berlin.
You can argue the anti aircraft gun crews were mostly reservists who were not likely to have been sent to the front anyway, but those 7,000 flak 88s which also served as their primary anti-tank weapon sure would have been useful on the Ostfront .
How do the Soviets fare with no bauxite to make aluminum out of which aircraft were built because their strategic metal reserve fell into German hands early on?
How do they fare without those 15 million pairs of felt lined boots the US sent them? The Germans lost about as many men to frostbite as to the Russians that first Winter.
How go they fare when their primary grain growing region fell into German hands in the Speing of 1942? Even with the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, spam, powdered eggs and powdered milk the US and Canada sent them, plenty still starved.
How about in the first year when the US sent them over 90% of their aviation fuel after the Germans knocked out a couple of critical refineries?
How do they fare without the 450,000 trucks the US and Canada sent them, the tens of thousands of jeeps, the 2200 locomotives at a time when they made 200 total?
That is to say nothing of the vital radios and telephones and thousands of miles of telephone cable the British sent them so they could actually communicate with their troops in the field.
Nor does this even mention the vast amounts of industrial equipment they were given.
Have we mentioned weapons yet - like the 20,000+ AFVs they were sent? Yes allied supplied weapons may have only been 15% of the Soviet's total, but weapons were the least of Western military aid.

All of which only represented 4% of the Soviet economy. The problem with these numbers it is never compared to the Soviet stockpiles before the war nor do you take into consideration how many of those materials even worked or made it to the USSR.
Aviation fuel: The importance of this fuel was due to the high-octane fuel provided. The high octane-fuel was important because it boosted the performance of Soviet aircraft engines by 10%, by no means would the Soviets have no plane fuel to fly, just less quality fuel for their engines, which means more maintenance or engine replacements, which the Soviet industry had no problem doing. Rather, the lend-lease high-octane fuel was used for lend-lease aircraft, not really Soviet aircraft as Western aircraft was designed for different fuel usage. Also important to note that the Soviets received 12k aircraft from the West, which is less than 10% of the 126k aircraft the Soviets produced.
Motor vehicles: The Soviet stockpile of trucks before the war numbered about one million by 1941 Barbarossa. So by 1944, lend-lease trucks contributed to 25% of the total amount of trucks the Soviets were employing. Numbers are also inflated by command jeeps provided which were used to overstate the number of trucks. Not to mention the ones that were lost during delivery. Not to mention that the Soviets produced 150,000 Studebaker trucks themselves in their own country, which was counted as "lend-lease trucks."
Locomotives:You compared locomotive deliveries compared to Soviet production, but left out the stockpile of locomotives the USSR already had before lend-lease. 1,900 lend-lease locomotives seems like a huge number... until you see that the Soviets had 25,000 locomotives and 500,000 railway wagons in stock. 98% of locomotives used during the war were Soviet-made, and lend-lease deliveries only made up 5% of locomotives and 1% of railway wagons.
It is also vital to note that 75% lend-lease came after the Red Army had won the Battle of Kursk where Germany was destined to lose after that. Earlier the Soviets prevented a complete defeat by preventing the Germans from taking Moscow and Stalingrad with very little lend-lease supplies that made any significant difference. Rather, the lend-lease helped in alleviating pressure from Soviet industries and helping end the war much faster in exchange for destroying 80% of the German Army as well as 90% of the total European Axis forces.
It is also important to note that lend-lease also saved countless American casualties who didn’t have to fight a much stronger & better resourced German Army.
Beyond Hbot, what will be the main driver of joy in life for you over the next four years? What are your hobbies?
You do realize that I agree with you, right? I’m sure there was no small amount of fuel and drilling equipment sent to them either. The Soviet Empire had ample natural resources, but very poor exploration and refining capacity. And at the end of the day, they pushed the Germans back by deploying a flood of “brown people” conscripted from the south and the east that was simply too big for the Germans to kill.
over 85% of the combat units in the Red Army consisted of ethnic Russians, Belarussians, & Ukrainians. Soviets definitely used human wave tactics to overwhelm the Germans but the vast majority of the Red Army was very much "white people."
Yeah... scruffy is a killer in gin rummy on Thursday cards night in the trailer court community room. You go girl!
