Q: How much of the American WWII Lend-Lease debt has russia paid back? 🤔

That massive material aid literally saved stalin's soviet-russian dictatorship from total collapse. Have russian despot leaders said "THANK YOU!" even once?

「In total, the U.S. deliveries to the USSR through Lend-Lease amounted to $11 billion in materials (equivalent to $148 billion in 2023): over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386 of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans); 11,400 aircraft (of which 4,719 were Bell P-39 Airacobras, 3,414 were Douglas A-20 Havocs and 2,397 were Bell P-63 Kingcobras) and 1.75 million tons of food.

Roughly 17.5 million tons of military equipment, vehicles, industrial supplies, and food were shipped from the Western Hemisphere to the USSR, 94% coming from the US.」

Meanwhile russia infamously *extorted the victims* of soviet-russia's invasions for crippling "damages" and "reparations"... 😑

russians are going remain violent medieval brutes until we put a stop to that shit and teach them about consequences.

The most concrete and ethical way to do that right now is helping #Ukraine to the max and ending russian regime's oil sales.
