Hm, I should have actually quoted just the sentence "I respect and appreciate Lend-Lease, I can’t tell if it saved the war" because that's what I was actually referring to. Sorry :)

Because it is very clear that it did save the war. Having lived in Germany, Finland, the Russia, and Ukraine, I hear a lot of that "~Soviet Union~the Russia did it practically all by itself", which is extremely contrafactual. And hurts the Russia, as they don't understand what their "možem povtorit'" actually holds to it...

But, it does seem that you and me very largely agree about things, so all in all things are just fine, no worries :)
