[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the deal regarding the blockade- Iran won’t even agree to peace talks until it’s removed. So I’m wondering if Trump is slowly backing it off without telling us so he can save face? [/quote]
That makes sense because a blockade is an act of war which shouldn’t be in place during a ceasefire which is an attempt at peace. You don’t have to go to the War College to know this.[/quote]

That's exactly why JFK carefully chose the word "quarantine" to describe the blockade of Cuba in '62. Trump is too stupid to understand that words have actual meaning.

Not really

1. The title card said "blockade" .

2. That blockade / quarantine was only for "offensive weapons"

3. "Resolution endorsed by Congress"

Blockade is an act of war.

President Kennedy used the term "quarantine" instead of "blockade" during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis to avoid acting in a way that legally constituted an act of war under international law. A "blockade" is a formal act of war, whereas "quarantine" was a milder, flexible term for a "defensive" action that allowed for potential diplomatic resolutions[/quote]
