the soviet union was BY FAR the strongest allied country in ww2

Ok a lot of this stuff is ether your opinion (Russia had worse tech than the Americans) or info that does not show how strong their army was and u instead that the US made a lot of oil. In World WAR 2 i don't know maybe the ARMY STRENGTH is more important than the economic or oil? -WAR, key word. I will prove all your points wrong 1 by 1 "From 1941 to 1945 - the USA single handedly outproduced all other countries in the world"- but we are not talking about countries production rates we are talking about there STRENGTH and since its a war there ARMY STRENGTH. "it could plan, coordinate, and launch two simultaneous amphibious landing invasions on opposite sides of the world"- well PLEASE, the battle of Saipan was hardly a master plan! the place was about 10 TIMES SMALLER THAN NEW YORK hardly a great job. Also some Japanese solders were using bamboo spears so the defense and there for strength needed to take it could not have been the best. "By 1945 the USA had successfully tested and detonated three atomic bombs. The USSR would not have their first atomic bomb till 1949. This fact alone could end this debate."- SO what 3 nukes what a super power. i think maybe 50,000 tanks could pay up for 3 nukes. Also they used 2 nukes on an all ready destroyed country on the brink of surrender. Why did they use them? 1 REASON the US was scared by the fact the soviets had declared war on japan and they were FAR more efficient. They swept threw Manchuria the same time it took all mighty MURICA to take like 2 tiny Japanese islands. Even the US new that the USSR could have easily took japan ,a lot quicker than the US. "Russophiles"- i know this debating site is meant for intelligent people and a lot of big language is used but there is no need. "sacrifice for contribution."- no i don't think i did. May i remind you 9/10 Germans died were? the RUSSIAN front. and what the noob did the Americans do? beat a nation that has been at war for 7 years? with the help of china,Australia and a lot other countries. "US supplies to the Soviet Union"- they sent them like 0.1% of porridge for like 1 year. May i remind you the reason why Russia needed supplies was because they were FIGHTING A WAR! not just attacking a country across an ocean! "opening of a vital second front against Germany"- VITAL! all D-day was for was so the US could say "by the way we helped a lot in Europe". but truthfully only 30% of the destroyed German army was in the west. All d day done was what? Maybe helped end the war a couple of weeks earlier. "which prevented the USSR from ultimately being overwhelmed and defeated by the Germans. "- The soviets had been SUCCESSFULLY pushing the Germans back for over a year and liberated several countries. SO HOW would the small amount of German fores left in Italy and France be able to overwhelm the Russians and if they could why did they not they they had more than a year to do so? "Total Available Manpower"-means nothing of cores America had more available it has more people in it. but today INDIA is not stronger than the US. and it has more available man power. "Better Weaponry & Technology "- completely bi est opinion. "Superior Wartime Economy "- its a war i think your ARMY is more important. "Superior Navy and Air Force"- This is ww2 and a WW2 plane is NOT the best and i think tanks/men are a lot more important. Also the Russians won Stalingrad with German air superiority. This is not 1870 the navy doesn't matter and Russia did not need a navy because it is surrounded by ice. " Overall Leadership" Well of topic, opinion and Stalin may have been evil but new how to win a war- (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Also harry Trooman did drop 2 nukes killing 250,000 Innocent civilians with 2 bombs with offensive names.- GREAT LEADER SHIP. Does this not make u evil? "seen how the Russian military was (by and large) absent in campaigns against Italy and Japan."- as i have said before Russia had been invaded by a very powerful country so unlike the US it couldn't just choose what wars it would look best in. Also Germany was about 2 TIMES stronger than Japan and Italy combined. If we are listing axis members who the US helped destroy. the USSR single handedly beat Hungry, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland witch were probably as strong as Italy combined. Italy took Albania and Ethiopia, and Japan took a lot of un maned colonies and the Philopens. Germany took Poland, Yugoslavia, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Belgium, Luxemburg, Holland, most of north Africa and France. "Also curiously absent from anything meaningful was the Russian Navy in the crucial wars in the Pacific and the Atlantic"- i thought the Russian navy was small and terrible? Since Russia was being invaded by Germany it couldn't car about sinking some U boats in the Atlantic or bombing some Japanese islands. "poor leadership desicions by the German Fuhrer than anything brilliant or particularly noteworthy by the Russian military." - a i see the Germans just had a little mistake and whoops!lost 1millon men and lost the war. What was the Russians pushing Germany back to Berlin for 3 years just some bad tactics? I see you don't know what happened in Stalingrad. The Russian encircled the city witch led to 1 million Germans being killed. "agreed to let Stalin take Berlin"- well the soviets surrounded the city so Rosavlet didn't have much "agreeing" to do. Looking at what the soviets did they deserved to commit the final blow. " had ZERO aircraft carriers."- why would Russia have air craft carriers it had air bases? The Americans could only produce all these aircraft carriers because they were in no threat for the entire war. "Atomic bombs."- WITTY conclusion: i proved 90% of your facts wrong so i think that makes me the winner. Russian wins at: Tanks, army size, moral, Armored vehicles, missile launchers and a much bigger army. America wins at: air force..... note- the UK/Germany had a better air force than the US and navies don't count (not the 1800s) navy's became useless after ww1. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org...
