There are a many obscure thought experiments regarding WWII history. One is if America never entered the European theater or Pearl Harbor never occurred, could Russia have won the war? Basically, was America’s formal entrance the tipping point for the Allied powers? Myself, I’ve always said Russia could not have won the war without active U.S. involvement, but, I’ve heard some people take the counterpoint in the argument. Without going off on an unnecessary tangent, you should get my comment.



Thank you for reminding me of my Russian woman fetish, I nearly forgot. I’ve always preferred robotic, hearty women who look like Boris Yeltsin.

I think the tipping point was US full war determination,participation and supply of Russia. But the war basically ended on the Eastern front where both sides lost millions of soldiers. 3.5-4.5 German soldiers or roughly 80 percent of their casualties. Plus prisoners.

That’s kind of what I was getting at. The scenario most people don’t account for is what would Japan and Italy have done if the U.S. war effort didn’t extend beyond lend-lease and similar efforts. The U.S. kept Japan and Italy occupied. If Japan would’ve pumped the brakes on their imperial ambitions, I don’t know how the Russians and British would fare against the Axis’ combined efforts.
