Frankly, trying to tie this civil war turned NATO proxy war to one disaster at central planning, among several, at that time is hardly accurate. Eastern Europe has been a hot bed of ethnic rivalries, clashes and wars for centuries.

But you know me Jeff. MAGA tankie holocaust deniers are gunna MAGA tankie holocaust deny.

Squirt squirt..

Doesn't matter if it happened a hundred years ago, and it happened a couple of generations ago anyway, and it is indeed the reason WHY parts of Eastern Ukraine are "Russian speaking". Simply put, a generation of Ukrainians disappeared because Russia put Russians in Ukrainian houses, literally...and said "You live here now".

What happened to all the Ukrainians who lived there? Killed, mostly.
You can scream "LALALALALA I can't hear you" till you're green in the face but the fact is, if Canada did that to New York and Boston, Americans would snarl when they heard "French Speaking Canadian territories" in the news because families from Brooklyn would look up and see their old homes and neighborhoods.
You don't get to just dismiss that with a wave of your hand and mumble about Voldemort and make vague references to squirting.
Tying these events together is entirely accurate. The area was Ukraine until Russia decided it wasn't and Ukraine hasn't forgotten. And what's more, given recent progress, Ukraine intends nothing less than putting the map back to where it was prior to Russia's ethnic cleansing two generations ago. It's all connected, like it or not.

Your take on Holodomor sounds like "Yawn, long time ago, doesn't matter".
You're right, it does sound tankie...it does sound "denial-y".
