If we had never got in, just defended our naval assets, Russia would have eventually beaten the Germans.

Not without American supplies they wouldn't have, and not without the destruction of German industrial capabilities.

The Soviet Union was the 2nd major recipient of US lend/lease behind Great Britain.

The numbers do not support that view. Lend Lease provided 10% of Russian production. That is the difference between defense and an offense.
