So if someone blocked all sea traffic into US ports, you wouldn’t consider that a blockade since we could still fly cargo in?

You are retarded.

So, the trains aren’t running? That is simply incorrect. And there is free navigation between Russian ports.

Put the string back in. This is not an act of war. All you guys have a war woody about Russia. They are a laughing stock on the world stage. You are a laughing stock on FR.

I hope you guys are making up the deficits on the donations to FR. Your constant America Hate is worse than AOC. Your behavior is poor and you should feel shame for your constant whining about how poorly Russia is being treated. I hope your relatives are under the range of the MLRS we just sent there.

If that someone exercised sovereign control over those sea lanes - but they don't!

Lithuania is interdicting the transport of select sanctioned items across its sovereign territory.

Equivocation Fallacy! FAIL!

Are you saying Lithuania is blocking the Kaliningrad sea port? If so, that is aggression by Lithuania. That would be like Canada blocking US sea traffic from the lower 48 to Alaska. Do you have a source for that?

That's a fake strawman argument. The restrictions on transit are for materials and goods subject to international bans.

The USA already does that for a lot of things. Do you think Iranian ships are welcome to pull into the port of Newark and unload machine guns, mortars, and high explosives to hand out to their friends? Can a drug gang from overseas ship drugs through the USA to another destination in spite of US law? Can a pimp from Thailand take a dozen girls through the LA airport on the way to some other country so they can do their work there? Can somebody ship elephant tusks through New York city on their way to China?

The answer is no to all those situations because nations regularly apply limitations to what can happen in their borders, and following international sanctions is one thing that most countries do.

Don't be a dunce.
