  1. If you want to go deeper, Russian blood (I'd say "Soviet" to include more of the peoples who fought on the Red Army who wouldn't want to be called Russian) wouldn't have done anything without the US's industrial capability and Germany's chronic logistical problems. The US was mostly untouched so its industrial output carried the Allies on its back - both Stalin and Zhukov admitted that Lend-Lease was critical. And Germany had such problems with oil shortages and logistical chain issues that the war was unwinnable for their side and the outcome was decided on the day the conflict started. Reducing the Eastern front to a bloody sacrifice also discounts the Soviet use of Deep Battle doctrine and some masterful tactical decisions such as Zhukov predicting the German assault on Kursk and placing the defenses in the right spots. On the other hand by the time the bombs were dropped Germany had already been defeated. This was about the war in the Pacific. It wasn't who did more to win in Europe but how we delineate the conflict to have ended with Japan's surrender.

  2. Don't leave the house then. The institutions in charge of motor vehicles and air travel are going to get you killed. Never mind, your house was built up to code too and probably projected by architects and engineers. You know how those institutions can't be trusted. Leave the house too. By your logic literally no technology can be trusted, not just nuclear power. You're throwing out the baby with the bath water.
