You are still sucking at history. Germany was known as Germany, Reich means empire if I'm not mistaking. But Germany was called Germany before Hitler ruled it, and Ur was still called Germany while Hitler lead it.
Seems you do argue blindly. Was I contending what it was called before Hitler took over?

You still don't understand the meaning of colonisation and you keep confusing it with expansion. If you want to continue in this erroneous logic, tell me what made you say "the British didn't colonise any part of Africa" while seeing the British as a single bloc, not as a union of colony and coloniser ?
What I'm telling you is that the creation of Russia is not different from that of Britain,it is through expansion. Countries weren't created in heaven...do I really need to repeat the lecture again ? Or can you just read ?
Look, we are not equals, stop fooling yourself into believing you can outsmart or debate me, you are only making both of us lose our time. Read what I already wrote and learn from it. I'm tired of repeating myself for people who think they are smart.
erniok:
Seriously? You had to redefine colonize as expanding? Using your logic, it would be safe to say the brits never colonised any part of Africa, they just expanded their empire into Africa.

Apparently, you are the one that suck at history because the land poland got by force, it lost by force.

@eniok, just learn what I wrote here rather than ignorantly thinking you are smart and trying to debate reality away.
Ghostagain:
If by bloodshed you mean genocide then you would be right. But like the not very knowledgeable guy you are, you oversimplify things. The USA started as a settler-colony of Britain, the settlers rebelled against Britain and went on to expand their colony through genocide. Russia on the other hand, went through the usual steps of how a country comes into existence: expansion. From house to clan, from clan to village, from village to city, from city to kingdom, from kingdom to larger kingdom (or empire).

⚡Putin took part in the opening of three new enterprises in the Far East on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

The Primorsky Plastic Pipe Plant and the Ozerny Mining and Processing Plant were launched, and the Sukhodol Coal Port began operating at full capacity. The head of state congratulated the CEOs of the companies and wished them success.

You are merely trying to be smart by half. I was merely using your warped logic and please quit trying so hard to sound smart as you obviously are not. Aren't you the same fellow that claimed tiktok is not owned Chinese by regurgitating what they posted on their website.

When a nation moves out of their boundaries into another nation's territory and imposes rules over the indigenous people, that is colonization.

⚡The US Justice Department announced Wednesday that it is seizing 32 domains tied to a Russian influence campaign accused of spreading propaganda to influence voters in U.S. and foreign elections.

Court documents allege that RT, a Russian state media network previously called Russia Today, deployed nearly $10 million to finance and direct a Tennessee-based online content creation company that has posted thousands of videos in English focused on key domestic and foreign issues to "amplify divisions in the United States."

Using your logic, Germany should have beaten Russia since they were accessible by land.

The same US sent troops to fight in Europe when the Nazi Germany declared war on them.
The US entered the war in Europe when the odd was already against the Germans. There were so many factors responsible for the German failure on the eastern front.
1 German army was overstretched
2 harsh Soviet winter.
3. Fighting under unfamiliar terrain.
4. Availability of Soviet raw materials and manpower.
5. Hitler refusal to take advice from his generals.
6. Hitler taking full conduct of war operations which he doesn’t have absolute knowledge of.
6. Halting for one month when they were closed to Moscow which allowed the Soviet to regroup and launched an unprecedented surprise attack which crippled the German 6th army.

I agree with your submissions but one of the major reason for their loss was because of general keitel. Any officer conducted a SWOT analysis of the operation Barbarossa. He pointed out all the difficulties the German Nazi troops would face in Russia which they did. When Keitel read the report, he told the officer that Hitler would not like it and so, they officer wrote a watered down report that made it seem like the operation would be a walk in the park. The rest is history.

Hitler taking full command after sacking Manstein was another great factor that affected them.

But had US being a European country at that period if they could challenge the Germans is debatable. The brits could have done so when chamberlain was PM but he allowed that opportunity to slip through his fingers by trying to do everything to avoid war.

This is USA side of the story research about Russian story side

Errors mixed with truth don't make it complete

By the way Russia was on the road to Berlin before USA decided to Join the fight so as to prevent Russia taking all of Germany
Russia got massive aid from America.
Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

400,000 jeeps & trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
1.5 million blankets
15 million pairs of army boots
107,000 tons of cotton
2.7 million tons of petrol products
4.5 million tons of food

"Your decision, Mr. President, to give the Soviet Union an interest-free credit of $1 billion in the form of materiel supplies and raw materials has been accepted by the Soviet government with heartfelt gratitude as urgent aid to the Soviet Union in its enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy – bloodthirsty Hitlerism," Stalin wrote to Roosevelt.



More from Wikipedia on the actual ships, ports and route the Yankee used to help Soviet Union.

The aid helped Red Army stop the siege of Russian cities like Moscow and Stalingrad, then the Red Army marched eastwards all the way to Berlin decimating the Nazi and it's allies.

Well Ukraine has gotten triple of that ($350 billion).


Did that give Ukraine victory?


Soldiers win wars not blankets and tractors and trucks.

Russia would have had all of that anyway, it'll only take time.

And it still doesn't change the fact that Russia defeated the Nazis singlehandedly by killing over 80% of them.

The aid helped. Russia lost the most people in the war though but they gave the Nazis a bloody nose.

It didn't help. It came very late when Russia was already close to victory.


Without that aid Russia would have still supplied itself and won the war.

They had the vast resources to do that. Even more than the USA.

⚡Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was tricked by Russian pranksters into admitting he would like to lead a "foreign legion" in Ukraine.

Johnson expressed his desire to lead a military force in Ukraine:

"I'm as passionate a supporter of Ukraine as you could imagine and I often wish I was gifted militarily myself and could go and lead a foreign legion in Ukraine if I was a general, but I'm not. I've never had that training."

He also suggested that Ukraine needs to mobilize more young people:

"They have not yet called many young people."
