    The ussr was much less devastated than Germany, and it didn’t support allies, it received support first and exploited colonies later.

      Not true. Majority of ussr most economically valuable areas were destroyed.

      Ussr provided major military assistance to china Korea, vietnam, African countries fighting for freedom.
      Also look up comecon.
      Also who do you think was responsible for reconstruction of half the germany? It was ussr most which was also half destroyed itself.

      All of this was a much higher burden on ussr than US which was left intact.
