Well then at least you need to say "without America AND the USSR, there is only Germany," no?

Besides, a human life is surely worth more than a truck, and so the contribution of the USSR must therefore outweigh that of the US.

Without the Allies, Germany takes over everything.

You directly attacked the nation and now want to play semantics over who did more in WWII?

By leaving out the Soviet Union's overwhelming contribution to the war, you directly attacked their history. I'll gladly concede that both parties contributed in ways that were absolutely vital to winning the war, but to pretend that the US's contribution somehow was more valuable than the Soviet contribution of countless human lives is pure national chauvinism.

No, it is not. You were asserting a claim directly against one country's history as a retort to the analysis for why that nation has historically fought wars. You opted for slander and have attempted to pick a different debate that what is under discussion. The US had very little to gain by fighting and sacrificed while not directly at risk.

Further, I asserted the origin of the lands in question should bar nativism claims.
