Russia doesn't need a navy unless they want to occupy California. They didn't have one in ww2. Now, their trading partners are on their own borders as well.
Looking at lend lease it seems like we gave them an entire navy’s displacement worth of vessels. They certainly had many needs they could not meet on their own.
That's true. Now they have a hundred times the production capacity of artillery shells than we do. Safety and environmental laws really slow down production. Now they can trade directly with China their supply routes are much safer than ours. We have a navy cause we need a navy, they dont.
