exactly, can't forget about good old racism
During the 1932 Holodomor Famine, the USSR sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine. According to Mark Tauger in his article, The 1932 Harvest and the Famine of 1933:
While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul'chyts'kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food
Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.
Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.
According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest
It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.
Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could. Maybe spend some time learning a bit of history instead of flaunting your ignorance in public.
The US currently occupies a larger percentage of Syria than Russia is of Ukraine, but do go on.
always hilarious to see nafoids show up here
The biggest help the west could've done for Ukraine was to fuck off when the Istanbul negotiations were happening two months into the war.
You do realize that the US has invaded far more countries than Russia has, do burgerlanders have no self awareness at all?
The west is not all of humanity though.
check the mod log to find out 🤷
Yes, both parties commit atrocities and crimes against humanity.
But its good to know that the genocide of my people is less important than the genocide of others. The perspective that two genocides is just as bad as one is absurd.
That's actually your position where you ignore the genocide being conducted by the democrats while talking about what republicans will do to people in US.
Again, being able to believe that the party of liberals and the party of white nationalists are both fascist parties indicates a level of privilege or insulation from living under a fascist regime.
Liberals are fascists, and people who pretend otherwise are the privileged ones who live under a fascist regime and ignore what the regime does. Look in the mirror buddy.
I love how libs are utterly incapable of engaging with reality thinking that if they just repeat this mantra enough times it'll happen.
