>We have the international law for a reason, everyone agreed to this law (including the USSR) after WW2.
You can start with 'totally not a blockade':
> By using the term "quarantine", rather than "blockade" (an act of war by legal definition), the United States was able to avoid the implications of a state of war.
- danbruc 4y agoAlso international laws or laws in general are not worth the paper they are written on unless you have the power and will to enforce them.
- mannerheim 4y agoA blockade is the use of force to prevent other nations from trading with somebody. It has never been an act of war to stop your own citizens from trading with somebody.
