Holy shit, you just keep repeating and not reading:

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com…]

Sec. V (a)
67. Merchant vessels flying the flag of neutral States may not be attacked unless they:
(a) are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture;

Are you fucking daft? The legality of the blockade is the issue being contested here. I’m not a goddamn retard, I read what you posted, and acknowledged it. And it’s a very fine law that you’ve quoted. Now manage to find a way to wrap your head around the fact that the issue at stake is the legality of the blockade itself.
