Whilst Germany deployed only 18 of its own tank model (A7V), they did capture hundreds of allied tanks and used them in their own regiments.

Walz’s financial disclosure as governor does not list the value of any cash kept in bank accounts.

Regular bank accounts are explicitly not part of the report. Therefore he most likely just did not spend it on anything.

I talked about the other posts to provide context. These are not unknown people and she is not the only one who gets compared to the turkish shooter.

The poster likely chose the korean shooter as counterpart, because she already garnered attention beforehand for her aesthetic. She is already relatively famous, so I don't think it is surprising if somebody chose (and named) her over other, less known athletes. The poster also described her as "record-breaking" in the description, so I do not think it was the intention to make her look bad.

The korean shooter Yeji Kim became a (positive) meme first for her cyberpunk aesthetics, which many people found cool. Shortly after the turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç also became a meme for his own, very different aesthetic.

Also there is a bunch of other memes in circulation that compare the turkish shooter with various other people, e.g. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/873/956/0f7.png

Just because you are comparing a woman and a man does not make it misogyny. This is basically just a crossover of two recent memes.

Lend-Lease was absolutely important when it came to specific material (e.g. trucks, aviation fuel). But in total numbers it was still only 4% of Soviet War production. I don't know who spent more money in the war (and it is irrelevant really when you look at dozens of millions of deaths), but Lend-Lease alone does not answer that question.
