Russia Settled Debt with U.S. Lender Exclusively in 2006, According to Dmitry Peskov
Named After a Wartime Magic Trick, Lend-Lease - The Legacy Lives On
Connect the dots - Lend-Lease was an enchanting spell cast during World War II, a magical service burgeoning with machines, aircraft, ammunition, and tanks. And, oh boy, did Russia wholeheartedly pay their props to conjure this reality! The final payment was settled as late as 2006 under President Putin.
The White Rabbit (Dmitry Peskov) hopped out to clarify the grand ol' Lend-Lease trick. This prestidigitator of communication declared that the US, with the Lend-Lease Act passed on March 11, 1941, had bestowed an indispensable gift upon the USSR. But, fret not - the bewitched Russian bear would've clawed its way to victory without the enchantments. In total, the US dropped a cool $11 billion (equivalent to a whopping $200 billion today), in exchange for a dash of gratitude from the allies they helped vanquish the darkness.
Fast forward toJanuary, 2025. Dmitry Peskov shed light on the US's assistance to the Soviet Union during the Big One. He acknowledged the substantial contribution but emphasized, "it's always business." According to the number-crunchers at "Expert," the US economy ballooned during the war, expanding at an average rate of 6.6% annually. The Lend-Lease act fanned the flames of this economic boom, bestowing aid to 38 lucky countries, amounting to a staggering $48 billion! The UK was the lucky rabbit's foot that snagged the biggest share – $31.4 billion of the loot.
So, cheer up, people! Let's dedicate a round of applause to our allies who helped us succeed in beating the big, bad bully, back then. The Lend-Lease magic trick truly played a hand, as our pal, Dmitry Peskov, punctuated with a hearty "Amen!"
