So if that equipment was to be sent to Russia investing those resources into (supposedly) less effective bombers might have been the more pragmatic long-term option (at the horrible cost of additional Russian lives).
- c_crank 3y agoThe war was fought the way it was with the goal of preserving American lives compared to Russian ones. If the Allies wanted to preserve Russian lives, the best way of doing so would have been to do the Normandy landings years earlier, instead of dragging their feet in Italy and the North African front. The primary motivator for them eventually invading France was to preserve France and a fraction of Germany from being under Soviet control.
