Germany mobilized 12,500,000 soldiers in World War II. A total of 2,850,000 German troops were killed in World War II, which was 22.8% of their army. Now, answer this question for me: How did the Soviet Union kill 80% of Germany's army if only 22.8% of its army died over the course of the war, especially since not all of those deaths were perpetrated by Soviet soldiers?

If 3,000,000 soldiers was 80% of Germany's army, then their total army would have only consisted of 3,750,000 soldiers. Are you telling me less than 750,000 soldiers were spread out across Western Europe AND Africa? (ignoring the fact that Germany mobilized 12,500,000 soldiers, not 3.75 mil)
Now, the Soviet Union mobilized 25,000,000 soldiers over the course of the war; the United States mobilized 14,900,000. Could the United States and the other allies have won the war without Russia? No. Could Russia have won the war without the United States? No.

Unless China's population has risen 750,000,000+ since last year, no.
