This seems like a rhetorical question (answered with "yes"), or are you implying that it is a strange coincidence that the nation responsible for the largest ethnic cleansing in the last 500 years (that of North America, which inspired Adolf Hitler), and the only one to deploy nuclear bombs on civilians, would also happen to have an unaccountable intelligence agency that inspires comic book villains?
- badpun 3y ago> the nation responsible for the largest ethnic cleansing in the last 500 years (that of North America, which inspired Adolf Hitler) Weren't those nations mainly Brittain, Spain and France?
- pphysch 3y agoThey indeed started the process but most of the ethnic cleansing of NA occurred after the formation and rapid expansion of the USA.

I don’t see how the size of the deliberate ethnic cleansing that did take place can be greater than other far larger genocides.
- pphysch 3y agoIf you violently displace entire peoples from their land and food supply, and then they die "nonviolently" of poverty/disease a short time later, you are still to blame. That's clearly ethnic cleansing, even if it may fall short of genocide.
