    Lots of Russians died in WWII, yes (actually just realizing I don’t know anything about the breakdown of casualties or deaths in WWI). But if you count the number of casualties inflicted I imagine it would scale with losses experienced. Except for the USA, since we kinda cheated with the whole Hiroshima and Nagasaki thing

      In WWII, Russia had about 1 gun to every 5 soldiers.

      They literally had dudes running the lines without guns, and their battle plan was to pick up dead comrades weapons.

      Russia has absolutely no war cred. Win or lose. they’re a laughing stock, every time.

        The Soviets did not send soldiers to battle without weapons. That is a myth. They fought like hell in WW2 and finishing that is stupid.
