Should the US ever give Russia aid again? We armed them to beat Hitler. Billions in aid in the 90's.?

Now they run naval drills with Iran?

Update:

The US sent over 11 billion in war necessities to Stalin:

Update 2:

How are most of these answerers so ignorant of history? They should not vote if they are so wrong on basic facts.

The United States sent over half a trillion dollars worth of

war needs to England, USSR (Russia) and China.

    Absolutely not. They are our main suppliers of arms to our enemies. Just look at Iran, Syria and North Korea all of their equipment is Russian/Soviet built weapons. We are always in proxy wars with them just like when they invaded Afghanastan. We can deal and trade with Russia but shouldn't be their friend or ally. At least not until they get new leadership and rid their country of corruption.

    The U.S. did not help Russia to drive the German army out. My friend, the USSR helped wn the war. because Russian soldiers are disciplined and competent. Russians liberated some concentration camps, Americans liberated others.

    Under Putin Russia has created millionaires. The previous leaders did nothing to help during the deprivation of the 90s. I dont know what aid in the 90s you refer too. Got a link? Russia has helped the U.S. Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and what do they get in return, financial sanctions to destroy their economy.

    Russia doesnt need foreign aid from the U.S. I dont know what Lend Lease has to do with modern day situation.

    You also armed the Taliban, when Russia was at war with Afghanistan.

    American foreign policy is on par with the Keystone Cops or the Three Stooges and it does not matter who is in the White House It has deadly consequences all, most of who live outside the USA.

    20 million Russian lives lost in WW2 - all for the bankers benefit

    the same bankers who own the federal reserve who also stole all the Tsars gold - looted his palace after killing him and his family

    the Russians did your bankers dirty work of stopping Hitler and his fight against the bankers and their Communist New World Order
