Wow pretty staggering to look at those totals of tanks/weapons/aircraft that we sent to Russia. USA military manufacturing and its superior product is what won the war. Russia loses to Germany without it.

My Father in law was with Patton. He said when they joined up with the Russians they were driving Studerbaker trucks and they were so stupid they thought they were Russian trucks. They had never seen toilet paper and thought it was to roll cigarette with.

Jesus. First documentation of toilet paper usage was in 589 AD, first mass production of it was in 1393. Russians so dumb.
