    But that’s not what happened…

    USSR didn’t convince the U.S. to get into a two front war, the USSR got invaded when they were unprepared because Stalin originally wanted to ally with the Nazis.

    They were then pushed back into their own territory with such bad logistics that they couldn’t even give all their soldiers guns. Once they finished fighting their own war they asked for a little bit of time to mourn the deaths of millions, reestablish their territory, and mobilize millions.

    Nothing about that is dragging their feet, I personally think Stalin was a raging cunt and you are making me defend them because of just how shit your take is.

      Except the USSR pushed incessantly for the Americans and Allies to open a second front

        That “ second front” was against the same Nazis the allies were already fighting it wasn’t starting a war in an entirely different theater.
