@UEDCommander Imperial Russian Empire and Prussia(Germany) dismantled Polish–Lithuanian–Ruthenian Commonwealth which includes Belarus and parts of Ukraine.

@DeadnWoon Poland-Lithuania-Ruthenia Commonwealth wasn't part of Imperial Russia.

@DeadnWoon FYI, US support for the UK is not free, i.e. UK dismantled its Imperial preferential trade system (ECC style trade block for British Commonwealth memory countries) in exchange for US support which doomed what remains of the British Empire.

Only the UK and France signed the treaty with Poland. The USA is not a party to the UK-France-Poland treaty. Two world wars have caused damage to the British Empire. The price of US support for UK is the removal of the Imperial trade system with it's Commonwealth.

@tnickknight UK is mostly a maritime power while Germany was mostly a land power. The UK delivered the 1st major defeat on Nazi Germany during the Battle of Britain.

@tnickknight Nazi Germany has steel imports from Sweden. German military industry desperately needed certain raw materials, such as manganese ore and petroleum, and these could be purchased on a regular basis only from the Soviet Union. The US aid to the UK is has a price e.g.dismantling Imperial preference system, hence ending UK's EEC style common market with its Commonwealth (British Empire). Nazi Germany was aided by USSR to quickly dismantle Poland. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi%E2%80%93Soviet_economic_relations_(1934%E2%80%9341) As Germany scheduled its invasion of Poland for August 25 and prepared for war with France, German war planners in August estimated that, because of massive oil, food and rubber shortfalls, in the face of an expected British blockade, the Soviet Union would become the only supplier for many items. Every internal German military and economic study had argued that Germany was doomed to defeat without at least Soviet neutrality. Germany and the Soviet Union signed a commercial agreement, dated August 19, providing for the trade of certain German military and civilian equipment in exchange for Soviet raw materials Your argument is hypocritical.

@filiplubos1981 Do you want to be flattened again? Leave the US out of European wars.

Initially, "the West" consisted of UK and France. It took the US's multiple proxy and shadow wars to cause USSR's fragmentation.

@vlad_47 1. Imperial Japan army in northern China is nearly useless for Imperial Japan's martime empire. Imperial Japan's oil was supplied from the Indonesia and Malaysia i.e. main reason for war against the US. 2. Imperial Japan army has inferior tanks which is far inferior to M4 Sherman or T-34 tanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria#Combatant_forces Imperial Japan's land forces in China Kwantung Army had over 700,000 men Manchukuo: 170,000[1]–200,000 troops[5] Mengjiang: 44,000 troops The Kwantung Army had over 700,000 men in twenty-five divisions (including two tank divisions) and six Independent Mixed Brigades. These contained over 1,215 armored vehicles (mostly armored cars and light tanks), 6,700 artillery pieces (mostly light), and 1,800 aircraft (mostly trainers and obsolete types). However, the Kwantung Army was far below its authorized strength; most of its heavy equipment and all of its best military units had transferred to the Pacific Theater over the previous three years to contend with the advance of American forces. By 1945 the Kwantung Army contained a large number of raw recruits and conscripts, with generally obsolete, light, or otherwise limited equipment. Almost all of the tanks were early 1930s models such as the Type 95 Ha-Go and Type 89 I-Go, the anti-tank units only possessed Type 1 37 mm anti-tank guns that were ineffective against Soviet armor, and the infantry had very few machine-guns and no anti-materiel rifles or submachine guns. As a result, the Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea had essentially been reduced to a light-infantry counter-insurgency force with limited mobility and limited ability to fight a conventional land war against a coordinated enemy. In fact, only six of the Kwantung Army's divisions existed prior to January 1945. Accordingly, the Japanese regarded none of the Kwantung Army's units as combat ready, with some units being declared less than 15% ready 3. USSR entered a land war against Imperial Japan on 9–20 August 1945 which is too late when Imperal Japan's navy was already destroyed e.g. Yamato was sunk on the 7th of April 1945

@vlad_47 Your argument is useless when USN has maritime dominance around Japanese Islands. It's clear your argument is not based on martime power background. Hint: Nazi Germany's large land army is nearly useless against UK's Royal Navy superiority.

@vlad_47 Soviet invasion of Japan's main islands will be pointless when USN has maritime dominance.

@05Rudey UK delivered Nazi Germany's 1st defeat during the Battle of Britain with the UK achieving local air and maintaining maritime superiority. The main reason for Germany's attack on Russia is Germany's running out of oil issue since the UK's maritime power blockaded trade with Middle East oil countries and the US refusing oil trade with Germany. Continued WW2 conflict will lead to the US dropping the nuclear bomb on Nazi Germany. USA production is more than 4 times since the US was the only nation to mass-produced aircraft carriers. Germany Tiger I tank's 1,347 units x 44 tons = 59,268 tons Tiger II tank has 492 units x 68 tons = 33,456 tons Panther tank has 6000 units x 44 tons = 264,000 tons Panzer IV has 8,553 unit x 25 tons = 213,825 tons Total: 570,549 tons Czech's Panzer 38(t) has 1414 units x 10 tons = 141,40 tons USA M26 tanks has 2,212 units x 44 tons = 97,328 tons M26 has 90 mm gun. M4 tanks has 49,234 units x 33 tons = 1,624,722, Russian T34 tanks has similar number. M10 tank destroyer has 6,406 units x 29 tons = 185,774 tons M18 tank destroyer has 2,507 units x 39 tons = 97,773 tons M36 tank destroyer has 2,324 units x 29 tons = 67,396 tons M36 has 90 mm gun. Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. Firefly takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. The US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4). A significant amount of the US Army's tonnage was against the German army. The US has the following aircraft carrier production 24 Essex-class fleet carriers with 90 to 110 aircraft each. 650,400 tons for Essex-class. 21 Commencement Bay class with 228,900 tons 50 Casablanca-class with 390,000 tons. 45 Bogue-class with 747,900 tons 3 Yorktown-class fleet carriers with 59,400 tons Sub-Total: 3,798,645 tons Modern-day USN aircraft carrier tonnage is just about 1,460,000 tons. A significant amount of USN's tonnage was against the Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For the US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small. Both Canada and the USA has the advantage of the entire North American continent on raw metal and oil resources. European mainland is raw resource-poor, hence the reason for Hitler wanting Russian lands. 1st of the super aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41) entered service on 10 September 1945 which is eight days after the Surrender of Japan. The US almost single handily defeats Imperial Japan. In terms of warship numbers, Canada created the second-largest navy in the world after US, while Australia created the 4th largest airforce in the world. Both Canada and Australia have raw material strength from their respective continents.

@vlad_47 Both Europe and Koreas are divided in accordance to sphere of influence agreement between US/UK and USSR. At the Potsdam Conference in July and August 1945, it was agreed that Soviet troops would occupy the northern portion of Korea while American forces would take a similar action in southern Korea in order to secure the area and liberate it from Japanese control. The US/UK/France effectively replaced Nazi Germany in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. The US is not a party to UK-France-Poland's defence agreement.

@vlad_47 Refer to the Korean war i.e. Soviet Union+China backed North Korea vs UN backed South Korea. UN = United States(5 Eyes), United Kingdom (5 Eyes), Canada(5 Eyes), Turkey, Australia(5 Eyes), Philippines, New Zealand(5 Eyes), Thailand, Ethiopia, Greece (EU), France (EU), Colombia, Belgium (EU), South Africa, Netherlands (EU) and Luxembourg (EU).
