I did not say "more" sources. I said "reliable sources".
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. You could not pass a third grade history class using wiki as a source.
Don't get me wrong, we all like wiki for some things. But posting random links to the Holodomor accomplishes nothing, ever. You're claiming "Russia committed genocide" and that's false. The source you provided, which is a bullshit source, states very clearly that "genocide" as a description is under hot dispute. That, however is not relevant. What is relevant is that it was the Soviet Union responsible for the events of the Holodomor. The Soviet Union is not around. Russia, in it's current state, dates all the way back to the ripe old birthing age of 1992.
And you've just made the point better than anyone else could have. I've asked multiple times and NEVER received an answer: What has Russia done to deserve enemy status from the United States? The answer, as you just posted, is that they were part of the USSR. Therefore, I suppose we must murder them all. I will ask you though, since Ukraine was also USSR, shouldn't we murder all of them too? If that's what it takes to make an enemy, afterall...
The thing about the footnotes in an encyclopedia entry is that they are sources in and of themselves. Their mere use on Wikipedia doesn't strip them of their validity, and discounting my sources outright without addressing their content is a textbook ad hominem fallacy.
The political organization of the Russian people doesn't change the fact that the Russian people committed these atrocities against the Ukrainians. So GTFOH with your "well ackshully."
Leap to all the conclusions you want about unaddressed questions.
