If a person applies for a job and says they will be able to start in 2 months and then shows up in 2 months that’s not dragging their feet. If they keep pushing the date back until the employer says “ if you don’t show up on Monday you’re fired” that would be dragging their feet.
If a person is living at home and convinces their parents to get a second job to help support them, but doesn’t get a second job themselves until 3 years later because their parents finally gave them an ultimatum and their old job ended, , and then waits until the last day of that ultimatum to finally get the new job, they’re dragging their feet.
USSR didn’t convince the U.S. to get into a two front war, the USSR got invaded when they were unprepared because Stalin originally wanted to ally with the Nazis.
They were then pushed back into their own territory with such bad logistics that they couldn’t even give all their soldiers guns. Once they finished fighting their own war they asked for a little bit of time to mourn the deaths of millions, reestablish their territory, and mobilize millions.
Nothing about that is dragging their feet, I personally think Stalin was a raging cunt and you are making me defend them because of just how shit your take is.
Russia was invaded by Germany after Germany was fighting the allies. Russia joined the allies in the fight against Germany.
Russia requested in that joint fight that the allies attack the same enemy from a different location
That is very different than asking them to declare war on another nation.
Like there is so much criticism to be shared about the USSR in WW2 from raping and pillaging Germans after the war to allying with Hitler to invading Poland so no idea why you are insistent on trying to make the phrase “dragging their feet” be the own on Russia
Right so, they dragged their feet on it.

But that’s not what happened…

Except the USSR pushed incessantly for the Americans and Allies to open a second front
That “ second front” was against the same Nazis the allies were already fighting it wasn’t starting a war in an entirely different theater.
‘the allies’ were already also fighting the Japanese
But Russia wasn’t. That’s the point.
Russia was invaded by Germany after Germany was fighting the allies. Russia joined the allies in the fight against Germany.
Russia requested in that joint fight that the allies attack the same enemy from a different location

You seem to think I think they were in the wrong for doing so. I don’t, but that doesn’t change the fact that they did indeed drag their feet
