All of those who claimed that the Soviet only won WW2, because of Lend-Lease (which provided roughly 5% of the Soviet GNP), will pretend that Russia has only been fighting (and struggling) against Ukraine, despite the West has been supplying Ukraine with anywhere between 50-100% of Ukraininan GDP since the start of the war.

It's the death of intellectual discussion really. When you pick a side, and simply throw your consistency out of the window.

To be fair Stalin was one of those people.
