The symbol means much more than that, and it went on to represent state violence in many places, including in the city I am currently.

It's right to overcome American exceptionalism. But Russia doesn't win WW2 for us without American and British air raids disrupting mfg.

And that doesn't happen without French resistance supplying intelligence. The US, btw, was fighting a two-front war.

Russia only engaged Japan at the end of WWII. So it's misplaced to overlook Soviet state violence because they defeated the Nazi army.

But there is nothing that the Allies did that mitigated the SU losses. Literally. We let them bleed. Defend that please.

Which is? I probably agree with the thesis laid out in different terms, but as presented no.
