He has a selective memory. In the defense of Moscow in 1941 the majority of the heavy tanks had been sent from British stocks. The tanks were sent in response to a request for heavy weapons by the USSR. Fighter aircraft (Hurricanes) were also sent to help the USSR defend itself against the aggressor.

Well put.

@josephezimora8995 why?

@denisgorjunov they can move to russia if its that important to live in Russia. Its quite big. There's plenty of room there.
2
@denisgorjunov about 25 billion in military aid. Ukraine's defense budget is 6 billion, russia's 65. Year on year russia has spent billions more. I think ukraine has performed remarkably well considering the difference in money available.

@alexstorm2749 donbass isn't prorussian. In the 1991 independence referendum Lugansk and donetzk voted 82 and 83% for independence. It is another big putin lie.

@Moon-ns6op the planet is eliminated. Both sides have 6000.

We are, and it does us no good either. Europe has moved on.

@bobpadok5331 no chance.

@freeworld6783 nobody's panicking. There are 2000 leopard 2s if needed.

@thomasngetich1425 we will defend the sovereign borders of European countries.

@attilavegh5022 sorry. Wasn't it the Soviets who killed the Polish intelligentsia and massacred the Polish officers, for which, lying as ever, blamed the Germans.
1
Ww2 fact; 12% of soviet population died, 6% of them civilians. 18% of Polish population died, 15% of them were civilians. If you want sympathy, have sympathy for Poland.

@JOVICANMANIC1 not so. Vichy remained neutral and the free French fought with the allies.
1
Similar goals? No. The 8000 tanks the western allies sent to the Ussr had similar goals, to repel an invader.

@jesusofnazareth3507 stalin starved millions of ukranians to death. I would not be surprised if many Ukranisns hated him for that.

@denisgorjunov why is 1991 significant? Every country was young once.

@StrongRespect russia didn't exist until the end of the seventeenth century, so how could it be part of Kyivan rus?
1
@bonnie7898 Kyivan rus was an amalgum of Swedish vangarians and slavs. It collapsed in the twelfth century. Modern Russia developed from the duchy of Muscovy, which was renamed russia by Peter 1 in the late 17. Century.

lalnunzualadarlong4296 there won't be a victory. The west has unlimited resources, Russia not so much. It is deliberately bleeding russia dry. Haven't you noticed that, giving Ukraine just enough to hold russia, encouraging russia to use up its stocks of armored vehicles and missiles.
1
@alexstorm2749 Peter the great renamed Muscovy russia. Historical fact.
1
@denisgorjunov in 1917,but it was repressed again.
1
@marmotd2319 ukranians were. That's for sure. 8 million ukranians died in ww2. That's double the percentage of russians who died.
1
@coreyguy5216 no western leader has threatened russia with nuclear war. Its just another of putin's lies.
1
@jonber9411 unlikely. The USSR and Germany had close ties between the wars.
1
@Benjamin-tg79 democratically elected, unlike putin, who gas been manipulating elections for years.
1
@Benjamin-tg79 Zhelenski is a qualified lawyer, putin is a qualified spy. I prefer the lawyer.

@vladislavtodorov4371 don't you know that the Serbs were massacring people, call it genocide. The Hague tribunal did.
1
@omarismail8551 germany did. It is in a strong alliance.
1
@tinaforbes1059 check the NATO inventories.
1
@StrongRespect how, pray tell? Lendlease went to 3 countries, Britain, China and the Ussr.
1
@mlionea we have 6000 too. Be careful what you wish for.

@medic145 the challengers and Abrams destroyed the t 72s in Iraq. They are much better tanks.
1
@medic145 they have fought against t 72s in Iraq. They were very successful against them.

@Maria-ox4km russia isn't that old. 800 years at most. Quite a young country.

@Maria-ox4km may 9th wasn't celebrated loudly originally. Putin has made it loud.
