      man-made famine

      [...] starvation was selectively weaponized and the famine was "instrumentalized" and amplified against Ukrainians to punish them for their rejection of the "new serfdom" and to break their nationalism.

      Soviet and Western denial and downplay

      There was genuine racist, imperialist malice involved in the Bengal famine, but they were brown, so... shrug-outta-hecks

        My lib cousin was telling me that every famine in history has been caused by Socialist governments and I was like what about the potato famine on Ireland, or the Bengal famine? And she didn't even knew those ones existed.

        The selective knowledgeable of libs is out of this world.

        and to break their nationalism

        Love 2 attempt to break an allied country's nationalism by attempting a genocide for one year (that kills more non-Ukranians than Ukranians) and then spend the next 20+ accepting them as brothers in arms and a unique culture in the Union
