            There’s a difference between being a good country and being a global force for good. In helping to defeat the Nazis, the U.S. was a global force for good regardless of what else they did, had done or will do. The same with Stalinist Russia.

          It was a combined effort, but Russia did most of the work and lost most of the lives? Nice
