The Spin
US Pres. Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron were right to invoke the memory of the Allied defeat of totalitarianism in World War II. Ukraine is fighting the same fight and it needed to be made clear that they will not face Russia alone.
Arrogant Western elites are trying to erase the Soviet contributions to World War II from the history books. D-Day would not have been possible without the sacrifice of at least 25M Russian troops whose army went on to hand several defeats to the Germans before that fateful day in 1944.
