Davis, when you say the US entered the war at the last minute we simply had no means to enter Europe’s war in 1940, with an insignificant army and no real war machinery. Talk about gearing up! The US war production was truly the arsenal of democracy, even supplying the Russians and Chinese.

And then there was “our war”, the one in the Pacific. Air/Naval battles involving thousands of vessels and aircraft that dwarf any action the Atlantic/Med saw. The SS Nazis had nothing on a company of Japanese soldiers, who to a man would not surrender and fought to the death.

The Russians signed a non aggression pact with the Nazis, sold out Poland and the Balkans and did nothing until they had to defend their homeland. And then they were mostly cannon fodder. Hard to overstate their individual sacrifices, but they didn’t leave. The US rebuilt and left. Don’t compare the Russians to the US. They are not worthy.
