> illegitimate and illegal US embargo
Illegitimate and illegal according to what authority? Unless you believe in God, there is no higher authority than the US government and its military might.

A blockade probably would be (generally blockades are an act of war which is only allowed in defense or if un security council approves) however america isnt blockading it. Things can morally wrong without being illegal.
- matrix87 2y agointernational law in itself means almost nothing, it's just a convenient excuse for the more powerful to threaten the less powerful

- WorkerBee28474 2y agoInternational law isn't real. You can tell it's not real because if it were real there would be real repercussions for violating it. There aren't, so it isn't. It's just words made up for politicking and persuasion.
