      Why would I need to seriously argue against what is essentially tropes, including the asiatic hordes trope? Your argument speaks for itself.

      Compare the size of the soviet army at the start of the war to the size of the French and German armies. Now compare the Soviet delaying actions to the invasion of France.

          Remind me how many French and British troops were bypassed and encircled during the invasion of France?

          Remember that the combined forces in France were much larger and more mechanized than the soviet army during barbarossa, and were invaded by less troops

              Literally just look up the numbers on Wikipedia(or whatever other center-right source you consider credible) and stop embarrassing yourself.

                Wikipedia literally quotes Soviet archives. If that is center right, I’m curious to know what is left.

                  Okay, then go find other sources for these numbers:

                  Number of axis troops invading France Number of French and British commonwealth troops during the initial defense of France

                  Number of axis troops invading the Soviet Union Number of Soviet troops during the initial defense of the Soviet Union

                    I suspect that anything right of the Soviet archives won’t be good enough for you. And even those are embarrassing.
