You should learn the difference b/n fiction and reality. The Finish war is yet another war the Russians didn't lose ? true, they went there extremely ill prepared and the Fins put up tremendous fight, but if memory serves me right, the war ended with the Russians taking territory from the Fins. I am pretty sure that this is portrayed as the Russians losing the war by every single US or Western media, but it simply did not happen.
You are 100% correct about Stalin crippling his own army and you are 100% correct about the US helping the Russians during the war. "In total, the US deliveries through Lend-Lease amounted to $11 billion in materials: over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks); 11,400 aircraft and 1.75 million tons of food"
