Comments by "Old Guy Gaming Network" (@CRAZYHORSE19682003) on "If the Soviets and the West went to war in 1945 - who would have won?" video.
The Soviets would have been roflstomped. The Allies gain air superiority quickly, they gain complete naval superiority. No lend lease, and far less reserves in manpower. Even without nukes the Russians would have been stomped pretty easily.

The Soviets would have been smashed with little effort. Their ground forces were poorly trained and even poorly led, they relied on outnumbering the Germans 10-1 to simply wear them down. Having to fight an enemy with near equal numbers the Soviets would get MAULED. The American Navy would blockade the Soviet union, cut off supplies that were coming from America. The USAF would achieve total air superiority in a matter of days and the aerial bombing of Soviet formations with impunity would begin.

@chrischuba5037 I suggest you study your history sir. The Russians produced more T-34's during the war than the German Army produced ALL types of armored combat vehicles. They produced a total of 109,815 armored fighting vehicles during the war and the Germans, 49,777, split among multiple fronts. The Russians were nothing more than cannon fodder on the Eastern Front they just had an endless supply of men and equipment that the Germans couldn't overcome.

@chrischuba5037 As far as Japanese troops in Manchuria...BIG DEAL. The Japanese had the worst tanks of the war and were totally incapable of fighting against a armored force. They were brave and tough but that didn't stop the US from ROFLESTOMPING them all over the Pacific.

@Nostalgiagate6392 By brilliant you mean operations against the shattered German Army that was operating without air support and had to deal with constant fuel shortages, constant shortages in armored fighting vehicles due to troubles with maintaining and repairing them. The Japanese forces in Manchuria were largely made up of poorly trained reservists who were poorly equipped as well. These operations only seemed brilliant because it was no contest from the beginning.

@Nostalgiagate6392 They were shattered from a combined allied effort. The strategic bombing campaign against the German war machine dramatically curtailed production. I will also add in that Hitler trying to micromanage the war is probably the biggest reason they lost. If he would have given his commanders operational flexibility in the field debacles like Stalingrad could have been avoided. Non of his generals thought Kursk was a good idea and him delaying the campaign so the new Panthers and Tigers could reach the front allowed the Soviets to prepare a defense in depth. I personally believe the war was over after Stalingrad, there was no hope for victory after that.
