You seem to be ignoring the part Romania and Hungary played in assisting Russian against the Nazis. Russia had issues up to the DDay invasion, at which point enough pressure was placed on the western front, allowing Russia breathing room and the ability to advance, as opposed to holding the line.
But, again, the challenge remains the claim that Russia saved the Us during WWII. Facts don't support that claim.

you stated Russia saved the US during WWII. Since the facts don't support that, his question was valid. Your response did not support your statement. When, exactly during WWII, did Russia save the US?

Indeed - no-one was going to invade or defeat the US.

What Russia did was be the basis on which the allies could win WW2.

If Russia hadn't of taken on the majority of the Nazi's military power, then US would have been driven into the sea.
But this wouldn't have even eventuated because Nazi Germany would have focused on Britain before 1944.
the world owes Russia a hell of a lot. They suffered and they fought harder than anyone else did.

Nonetheless without the USSR "the West" was not going to defeat Hitler.

Seems to me that Putin is calling Susan Rice's bluff!
How stupid of her to try to back Putin into a corner! If this is an example of diplomacy, then no wonder the world is screwed!

Maybe it's the Russians who would not have beaten back the Germans without US, UK, and Canada???
they might have taken another 2-3 years and lost another 10 million people....but Germany could no more conquer Russia than Japan could beat the USA - remember most of that aid was not present when the Germans were stopped in 1941-42 - after that it certainly hastened the defeat of Germany - but lend lease was not what stopped Germany from defeating Russia.
