    Except the USSR pushed incessantly for the Americans and Allies to open a second front

      That “ second front” was against the same Nazis the allies were already fighting it wasn’t starting a war in an entirely different theater.

          But Russia wasn’t. That’s the point.

          Russia was invaded by Germany after Germany was fighting the allies. Russia joined the allies in the fight against Germany.

          Russia requested in that joint fight that the allies attack the same enemy from a different location

          That is very different than asking them to declare war on another nation.

          Like there is so much criticism to be shared about the USSR in WW2 from raping and pillaging Germans after the war to allying with Hitler to invading Poland so no idea why you are insistent on trying to make the phrase “dragging their feet” be the own on Russia

            You seem to think I think they were in the wrong for doing so. I don’t, but that doesn’t change the fact that they did indeed drag their feet
