Just by actual statistics it is as if the US was never even in WW2.
Killed by Soviet Union Killed by other Allies
3,772,297 735,340
Killed or captured by Soviet Union Killed or captured by other Allies
6,899,677 8,402,340
This negligible contribution means the US should stop claiming it had any influence in winning WW2. All it did was prevent Nazism from invading Britain (if that was ever its intention?).
As for the Lend-Lease, the USSR produced 95% of all its weapons.
So the US precisely contributed 5% to the USSR war effort.
