Wealthy British landowners lavished themselves whilst Irish tenants starved to death. In saying all this. I condemn the Soviet commies for the famine in Ukraine. In every conversatuon I have with a commie apologist I raise the famaine as an example of communist brutality whilst pointing out commies in the west glossed over it or down played it. But if the West is going to get mushroomed over past injustices and current occupstions they could at least call on their member states to end their own occupations
And in the long view such things resulted in independence of those places that hold such grudges, like Ireland. That goes a long way to explain why most of Ukraine did not and does not want to be part of Russia.
