Thank you so much for your comment! I agree that the Great Famine in Ireland was also man-made. It was not a divine and natural condition that Ireland grew potatoes- rather the English and Protestant Aristocracy used Irish land to graze cattle for beef exports to English markets. Potatoes were the wage for those Irish who toiled the land. Once the famine killed the potato crop, as it had 6 times before in the 1700s and 1800s, the English deliberately blocked grain imports and relief efforts for the Irish Catholics. It would be intellectually lazy to suggest that this was not a terror famine- the English government greatly desired to see 2 million Irish starve or emigrate abroad. The English only wanted Irish land for grazing, not Irish labor or Irish voters to contend with. However I must insist that the famine in Ukraine was man made. Stalin deliberately, once again, blockaded Ukraine from sea and land. Shipments of grain left Ukraine- shipments of food into Ukraine were blocked. Moscow deliberately engineered news and propaganda to convince the Ukrainians that there was not a famine in Ukraine, and that in fact there was a famine in Germany and the USA instead! This is all documented on film. In Ukraine, Moscow would feed a horse before it fed a Ukrainian. One horse carriage operator told the local Western journalist, "Moscow gives us the grain to feed the horses. We need the horses to cart away the dead from the streets before anyone sees."
