Without Russia being in the fight against Hitler, I doubt the Allies could have won the war. Just look at the number of Nazis killed in Russia.

We still would have gotten to the “bomb” first. It would have had to have been used in multiple places in the world and the war might have lasted until the mid-50s or later. With the USSR as an Axis power we might not have been as lackadaisical to leftists in the Manhattan Project as we were. So the Soviet path to a “bomb” would have harder & longer if they were still around after the war.

Nonsense. Look at the production of the US alone in WW2 and compare to Germany.

It would have required more than the 400,000 casualties we incurred, but we would have defeated Germany.

Plus, we're not even talking about the bomb being used against Germany.

I don't agree. We still had the advantage of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and if England was about to fall I guarantee we would have acquired the British naval assets. The Soviet Union was an industrial backwater that only survived because of massive US aid, up to 20% of their armored vehicles were supplied by America. A total of 22,800 armored vehicles were supplied to the Red Army during the war. The USA alone provided the Russians with 501,660 tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles, including 77,97 while the Russians only manufactured 343,624 cars and tucks. A total of 14,833 US aircraft of all types were sent to Russia between 1942 and 1944. Approximately 20 per cent of the fighters and 30 per cent of the bombers of the Red Air Force were American-built and approx. 10 per cent of the fighters were British-built.

God alone knows how much food we shipped them.

Also it is likely we would have developed the atomic bomb and in an all-out war with another continent we would have used it liberally.

Hitler’s astrologer told Hitler to attack Russia. Maybe the attack was inevitable. Yet if Hitler was to be successful the attack would have been several years later. Hitler was stupid enough to attack Russia when he did and lost his plans for world wide conquest. And now the communist forces are winning their plans for world wide conquest. See the pope is a communist. The American Democrat Party is Communist. The nations of Western Europe are communist. Roosevelt allowed the Russians to advance into Eastern Europe. General Patton knew to attack Russia after the Germans were defeated. The socialist Roosevelt was in favor of Russia. Patton was killed. Satan will take over Planet Earth. Socialism will reign supreme. Goldwater should have been for civil rights. The Great Society of LBJ should never have happened.
