Meaning you can argue that the US, Brits and Australians saved Russia's ass.
Prior to the luftwaffe being pulled out Hitler had complete dominance over Russia airspace. Germans were bombing Russia back to the stone age.
Had that bombing continued Moscow would have fallen and Russia would have been defeated.
Not to mention the US sent shitloads of weapons to Russians under lendlease. Every country played a important role and with out 1 or the other the war could have been much different.

I disagree.
If Russia never got involved in the war, that Nazis would have won. The Nazis would have taken over all of Europe except for Russia, and no one would have been able to do anything to stop them. The UK would have been eventually over run or destroyed by the air. The United States wouldn't have been able to have helped in Europe if it wasn't for Russia; We never would have been able to build up in England and never would have been able to have landed in France.
If the United States never got into the war in Europe, the Russians would have eventually over run the Nazis and beat them.
