During WWII we were only allies with Russia because we shared a common foe. We were never actually friends with Russia, nor they with us. Russia was invaded by Germany and fighting for their very own survival. Russia suffered catastrophic losses of men and equipment early in the German invasion. Without Western aid the Soviet Union would have likely fell to Germany. The United States economic power was probably the biggest contributor to victory over Nazi Germany. FDR's Lend-Lease Act. was instrumental in the war. All told, Lend-Lease provided tens of billions worth of supplies to our allies. All our allies, including Russia, owe the United States a great debt of gratitude for our involvement in WWII. We basically saved their butts. How quick they seem to forget.

The French have never forgotten it.

The Chinese have never forgotten it.

The British have never forgotten it. However, I think some of the current set of British politicians may be forgetting it, or at least appearing to in order to pander to their new Muslim population for some untold reason.
