Well wouldn't you agree that is still fishy of you to pick the year exactly after the famine? According to your logic that famine was still caused by capitalism anyways.

Odd that Russia and China couldn't provide enough food. Or at least not the entire time. Seems like complex reasons for that, but sanctions certainly can't have been the reason for that.

No, I don't think there's anything fishy about picking the past two decades. Meanwhile, there's nothing odd about the fact that Russia and China who were very weak in the 90s didn't want to anger the US and become victims themselves. I personally lived through post USSR years in Russia, and it was already hell.
