As someone who has a branch of my family in Ukraine, one which didn't emigrate in 1905,
Best of luck to them, by the way.
I laugh in Holodomor-- the kind of death Communists have in store for all of us: death by hunger.
Genocide is an attempt to wipe out a specific population. If you say that the communists were 'committing genocide against white people', they were trying to wipe them out. And specifically white people.
That is stupid.
The depredations of the USSR have everything do do with why the Nazis attacked them.
The Nazi claimed that Hitler attacked the USSR 'to save white people'. That is quite possibly the most idiotic statement I've ever read.
I say this even though the Nazis wouldn't have constructed either Slav or Jew as white.
Maybe this is an America-centric way of looking at it. The Nazis did not care about white or non-white, they cared about Aryan and non-Aryan - and they didn't count Slavs as Aryan.
They knew very well what horrors Stalin intended for the rest of Europe when they preempted his planned offensive and blew up his army.
There was no 'planned offensive'. You may be the victim of propaganda. Stalin's army was woefully unprepared precisely because he wanted to avoid a conflict, and he ignored everyone telling him otherwise until the very last moment. General staffs always draw up plans for every eventuality, including wars of aggression, but there is absolutely no evidence that Stalin was planning on invading Nazi Germany - not in 1941.
That you go on to imply Hitler's genocide of Schrödinger's Whites is ironic? Well, good thing I was already laughing.
No, Hitler wanting to wipe out Slavs (who are white) is ironic.
