James Stavridis: U.S. Blockade in Strait of Hormuz Is an Act of War

RUSH EXCERPT:

STAVRIDIS: “I‘ve sailed the Strait of Hormuz close to 100 times as a sea captain, and I have participated in several blockades around the world. My conclusion is blockades are inherently very difficult to maintain. This is 1000 miles of coastline that we‘re blockading. It‘s an act of war, by the way. And there‘s always going to be leakage. I think the movie gone with the wind, Rhett butler showing up with beautiful cigars and silk scarves from Paris through the blockade of the American south. Having said all that, I agree with my good friend Anne Marie.”
