I shit you not, there's a good chunk of this country that thinks russia is or was aligned with nazi germany and telling them they were actually allied would blow their mind. It just so happens that person is JDPON Don in this case.

So many western brainworms don't understand the Soviets, China, Korea, Vietnam, Mexico, India, Brazil, Cuba, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, and a dozen other countries were all part of the Allies. They all contributed troops across several theaters, not to mention resources and weapons. And some of them were fighting the Axis Powers years before France, Great Britain, and the US (China and Ethiopia being prime examples).

It was a collective effort by millions of people to end the war, end the Holocaust, and overthrow fascist governments.

Yep one of my favorite facts about the global reality of the war is the goofy patch the Brazilians made. They said they'd join the war "when snakes smoke" which is like "when pigs fly." A statement of an impossibility.

Well they joined eventually. And their military patch for the expedition features a snake puffing on a pipe. It's hilarious.
