"Can you find a single authoritative source suggesting it was not deliberate genocide?"
Oh, for ***8 sake Keith - will you never get tited of trying to prove by negative
The subject has not been researched, not even by the Ukrainians - you want to use silence as proof - why not?
The article points out that the famine is "muted" in history" - why, fear of upsetting the Stalinists, not rocking the boat - far morle likely that either the evidence does not exist, or it that what it contains details that would upset too many people
You have proved over and over again that your definition of "authoritative" is those who agree with you.
You have not read anything on the subject, once again, your "knowledge2 is limited to selected cut-'n-pastes.
Can you thik of aa single reason fror arguing for somebody who is not interested enough in a subject to have learned a little about it - I can't?
Go and win your glittering prizes elsewhere if you are not prepared to read up on your pre-decided arguments
