Because this is what Soviet collectivization was. No reputable scholar will deny that the USSR's idea of collectivization involved deliberately inducing famines to cause the deaths of millions of people. To claim the Agricultural Adjustment Agency as identical is 100% accurate means that the AAA conducted a murder of millions of American citizens covered up by the media. Your words, Comrade, not mine.

No we really weren't. The build-up "started" in 1940, and even then it was proceeding slowly and ad hoc, and there was no reason for Germany or Japan to fear it, or the UK ad USSR to notice it.

Yes, irony of ironies that I keep asking you to respond to your own statements and you refuse to do so even when I'm offering you a way out of the discussion.
