The Holodomor: Starvation of more than 6 million Ukrainians by Stalin

RE: The Holodomor: Starvation of more than 6 million Ukrainians by Stalin
This is not an argumentative post since I don't know the historical truth of whether The British Empire facilitated or failed to step in on purpose since it was was a big thing with lots of priorities.

Was Ireland one of those priorities? I'm not up on the history in detail of how the British viewed Ireland but my guess is no. The Irish humans were not about to build a navy to rival the British but the bulk of the population was on the rival 'catholic' team at the time. The empire wouldn't want a breakup of small parts of the empire so in as much as Ireland would not break away and set a precedent -- it wasn't a huge priority perhaps? Neglect and manipulation against a weak rival similar to US neglect of poor central America in different circumstances -- is likely to have happened. The British Empire did witness a calamity on its doorsteps and probably didn't work so hard to fix it. The Irish humans did have places to go however: the US among them.

Given the eventual seat at the table the Irish humans have gotten in the US, in Australia and elsewhere it seems to me that bygones should be bygones. The EU is going into the shitter in my opinion -- and Ireland should revert back to its scrappy place with the remains of the Empire.
