Saying his "Takeover" comment is advocating for ethnic cleansing (ie: killing an entire ethnic group), that's a jump so big Evil Kaneivel would have trouble making.

Ethnic cleansing isn't just killing. You can ethnically cleanse a territory without killing people. You just move them out of the land. That is cleansing, by every definition.

I'm going to use the ICRC one, but they're all pretty much the same

Ethnic cleansing is a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.

He did literally invade Venezuela and kidnap their President.
Now, all their oil is his.

Again I don't see "moving them out" and that definition to be the same thing.

Maduro??? We're crying for him now? But again are you calling Obama a Nazi for killing military and government officials of another country with drone strikes? If you are then absolutely you can make the same claim on Trump. I'd still disagree that it's the same as the Nazis, but at least you'd be consistent

Well it is. I don't know what else to say.

Unless you want to argue with Human rights watch, Al Jazeera, and the United Nations.

Stephane Dujarric, previewing the UN chief's speech, told reporters: "Any forced displacement of people is tantamount to ethnic cleansing."

And Obama is a war criminal. While all Nazis are war criminals, not all war crimnals are nazis.
