No offence but India, South Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, Japan , Taiwan don't agree with you.

you are wrong. USA helped USSR during WW2 to break the back of Nazi Germany. USA supplied 30 thousand trucks through iran so USSR can have logistics for wars against germnay. I can go on and on how USA helped USSR against the war.
It as won by USSR who annihilated 240+ german divisions as compared to allies who fought against 45 German division in europe.

Read the history before coming out with ignorant remarks.

The new found wealth of PRC is clearly reflected in the armed forces uniform. From the simple Mao suit to the silk and brass lined new suits, PLA has come along way.

USA and USSR each played their part in defeating Nazi Germany, but personally for me 20 million Soviet deaths holds more value. The stories of how Soviets fought out Nazis outside Moscow and how they counterattacked in Stalingard are surely awe inspiring. There are stories of how Soviet soldiers build roads by walking up and down in tight formation hundreds long all night and in the morning the road is hard enough for tanks to advance. I heard that German High Command was sure that Allies would attempt a landing on Continental Europe, but they could not divert forces from Eastern Front bcs of the Soviet advance. I dislike Communism but I have respect

Impressive hardware. The men and women though look like cute and pretty bunnies.

Apparently, the Russians never had much concern about the number of casualties they take. The German-Russian fronts were horrible places.
