Trump says U.S. blockade or quarantine of Venezuela under consideration
« on: August 02, 2019, 01:59:41 am »
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was considering a quarantine or blockade of Venezuela, as the United States steps up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro to relinquish power.

Trump did not elaborate on when or how such a blockade could be imposed, and his administration has so far focused on diplomatic and economic pressure against Maduro while steering clear of any military action.

One problem: A blockade is a universally recognized act of war.

Will Maduro or any others in the leadership suffer?

Will the people suffer (more) and rise up and cast them off?

Okay, then what's the point?
