Did you know that Russia paid off its debt for the WWII lend-lease only in 2006?

Yes I did :) That's still 4 months earlier than UK :)
But I'm curious where you are going with this...

For decades Soviet, then Russian, comrades - “the victorious nation”, - were debt slaves of hated Western banksters.
And they still.

On Friday Putin claimed to have annexed Donetsk and said Russia would treat any attack on it as an attack on Russian territory.

On Saturday the Ukrainians routed 5000 Russian soldiers in a key Donetsk city, Lyman, and captured it.

Bluff called. Now what?

..Finally, we should talk about real intimidation, bringing to hysterics and pig squeal of yellow-blue biomass. Shelling and sabotage against civilian targets in Novorossiya can no longer remain without an equivalent response - directed specifically against the civilian population of the enemy. The Western region still remains practically untouched, and if earlier it could be attributed to “humanism” or the inexpediency of firing Iskanders at individual pigsties, now there are both grounds and means for this. Each artillery strike on Donetsk or Kherson should lead to a night flight to Lvov and Ivano-Frankivsk of a flock of "Geraniums" [Iranian kamikaze drones used by Russia] - in the same way, on residential buildings, with wings full of "explanatory notes" for those who are lucky enough to survive.

The real victory of Russia in this campaign will only be the destruction (preferably physical) of the Kyiv regime and the complete elimination of the so-called "Ukraine". And for this, the Nazis must burn along with the ground under their feet everywhere - both on the front line and in the rear.

Thanks for following up.
Not sure I'd use lend-lease to make a point about Soviets being "debt slaves" and Western "banksters". Lend-lease was direct federal gov-t program paid with money minted by Treasury bypassing what I think of as "banksters". Soviets generally scoffed at US demands after war to pay US-quoted amounts and paid mostly with middle finger outside measly "pipeline" payments. By 1972 Soviets negotiated down from initial $1.38bln to $720mln in exchange for US giving MFN status for Soviets and made three initial installments (around $38mln each) but in 2 years the Congress blew Soviets off over immigration and US got a middle finger again - until 1990 and USSR dissolution, MFN extension to Russia and then installments were reduced by inflation to a drop in a bucket for Russia.
So Russia and even more so, USSR were no "debt slaves" to anybody over lend-lease. . Plus in general in people's memory the lend-lease carried a lot of good will and good deal of respect toward American people in general. A can of spam in the trenches goes a long way... This of course was fading with a time in a Cold War being offset by bitterness over USA hailed as a "victor" in WW2, while 98% of German battle losses were at Eastern front with nobody paying as high a price in blood for defeating Germans as Soviets did... But that's another story...

Western elites not only deny national sovereignty and international law. Their hegemony has pronounced features of totalitarianism, despotism and apartheid. They brazenly divide the world into their vassals – the so-called civilised countries – and all the rest, who, according to the designs of today’s Western racists, should be added to the list of barbarians and savages. False labels like “rogue country” or “authoritarian regime” are already available, and are used to stigmatise entire nations and states, which is nothing new. There is nothing new in this: deep down, the Western elites have remained the same colonisers. They discriminate and divide peoples into the top tier and the rest.

We have never agreed to and will never agree to such political nationalism and racism. What else, if not racism, is the Russophobia being spread around the world? What, if not racism, is the West’s dogmatic conviction that its civilisation and neoliberal culture is an indisputable model for the entire world to follow? “You’re either with us or against us.” It even sounds strange.

Western elites are even shifting repentance for their own historical crimes on everyone else, demanding that the citizens of their countries and other peoples confess to things they have nothing to do with at all, for example, the period of colonial conquests.

The United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. And they created a precedent.

Recall that during WWII the United States and Britain reduced Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and many other German cities to rubble, without the least military necessity. It was done ostentatiously and, to repeat, without any military necessity. They had only one goal, as with the nuclear bombing of Japanese cities: to intimidate our country and the rest of the world.

The United States left a deep scar in the memory of the people of Korea and Vietnam with their carpet bombings and use of napalm and chemical weapons.

It actually continues to occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea and other countries, which they cynically refer to as equals and allies. Look now, what kind of alliance is that? The whole world knows that the top officials in these countries are being spied on and that their offices and homes are bugged. It is a disgrace, a disgrace for those who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this arrogant behaviour.

They call the orders and threats they make to their vassals Euro-Atlantic solidarity, and the creation of biological weapons and the use of human test subjects, including in Ukraine, noble medical research.

It is their destructive policies, wars and plunder that have unleashed today’s massive wave of migrants. Millions of people endure hardships and humiliation or die by the thousands trying to reach Europe.

Washington demands more and more sanctions against Russia and the majority of European politicians obediently go along with it. They clearly understand that by pressuring the EU to completely give up Russian energy and other resources, the United States is practically pushing Europe toward deindustrialisation in a bid to get its hands on the entire European market. These European elites understand everything – they do, but they prefer to serve the interests of others. This is no longer servility but direct betrayal of their own peoples. God bless, it is up to them.

But the Anglo-Saxons believe sanctions are no longer enough and now they have turned to subversion. It seems incredible but it is a fact – by causing explosions on Nord Stream’s international gas pipelines passing along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, they have actually embarked on the destruction of Europe’s entire energy infrastructure. It is clear to everyone who stands to gain. Those who benefit are responsible, of course.

But people cannot be fed with printed dollars and euros. You can’t feed them with those pieces of paper, and the virtual, inflated capitalisation of western social media companies can’t heat their homes. Everything I am saying is important. And what I just said is no less so: you can’t feed anyone with paper – you need food; and you can’t heat anyone’s home with these inflated capitalisations – you need energy.

That is why politicians in Europe have to convince their fellow citizens to eat less, take a shower less often and dress warmer at home. And those who start asking fair questions like “Why is that, in fact?” are immediately declared enemies, extremists and radicals. They point back at Russia and say: that is the source of all your troubles. More lies.

Ukraine is corrupt as shit..

Pretty cogent argument if you ask me.
