#3 Definitely a group effort, but it is rather odd why "they" were trying to get the US into the fray (lend-lease aside).

#5 The Soviets were a huge help by providing bodies while the West provided tons of aid/supplies/weapons to bleed the Axis dry on the eastern front. It cost them a shit-ton of men that you can see in the demographic data. Russia should have over 250 million instead of the 145 million it currently has. All those young men not humping and making babies has really added up in compound interest.

#6 Before the Soviet Union was a huge help to the Allies, it was a huge help to the Nazis, allowing the Nazis to concentrate elsewhere without having to man an eastern front. They created their own consequences.

#7 Russians were suckered by Molotov-Ribbentrop, and they were suckered by the Minsk Agreements. In between were broken promises by the West to move NATO east.

#9 Frau Merkel herself stated in an interview with the Die Zeit that the Minsk agreements were just a scam to buy time to build up Ukraine militarily.
