In contrast to the usa, russia always sucked at marketing.

It wassn't any single country. It was the Allies.

What shit-tier propaganda is this?

What kind of Russian propaganda is this? None of the allies could win alone

Well, that explains it

Yep, overall the Soviets paid by far the largest price, and were responsible for ~85% of Nazi deaths. This should be unsurprising for anyone, though, considering communism and fascism are polar opposites, the former throughly devoted to thr working class and the collectivization of property, the latter thoroughly devoted to violently retaining bourgeois property and killing all who are percived to risk that. Blackshirts and Reds is a good read.

The Germans were fucked. They could've stopped the war after winning the battle of France and so long as the British decided to continue fighting they would have won just with the Commonwealth allies. The economic situation for them was apocalyptic. The only thing Germany could hope to achieve by continuing the fight was losing at a later date.

US didn't beat the hitler but US is the undisputed winner of the war.

We currently actively pissing away all of them winnings though...

Russian clown regime speed running loss of great power status

China is set up to win by doing nothing

US oligarchy is unable to maintain the empire. Too much grift.

Seeing the Brits consistently polling in the 15% range is amusing. I wonder if the French being the subject of the poll has anything to do with that.

Brits and their Empire were the only ones fighting for the entire duration of the war. They didn't have the capability to liberate mainland Europe alone, but they sure did make everything difficult for the Axis. I've always felt that a peace between the Commonwealth and Axis, as Hitler envisioned, was the most interesting counterfactual to consider. No need for an Altantic Wall, no bombing campaign, no base to invade France from, no African campaign, no naval interference for their shipping or need for a big U-boat fleet, etc. Also dramatically changes the calculus for the Japanese Empire in the Pacific. If the Brits aren't tied up in Europe, then an invasion towards the Indies becomes much less tempting, potentially leading to no Pearl Harbor and the USSR and China standing alone and being pressed from all sides.
