the claim that the famine was intentional is extremely dubious at best.

I'm splitting this to a separate comment because it's a different topic.

Who said that it was intentionally made famine with the goal of killing people? And where?

Are you hung on the original commenter calling it "mass murder" and your point is that it wasn't premeditated?

That's the "mainstream" narrative so I assumed it was what you were arguing, sorry if it wasn't.

Essentially. Yes.
