How Blockades Work (And Why They Start Wars)


Listen Later

What if you could weaken a country without invading it?

No troops. No bombs. Just control.

In this episode, we break down how blockades actually work — from the naval tactics used to control movement at sea, to the legal rules that define them, and the real-world risks that come with them.

We explore the history of blockades, how they’ve shaped conflicts in the past, and why they’re still one of the most powerful tools in modern warfare.

We also look at current tensions involving the United States and Iran, and what a blockade means in today’s world.

This isn’t just about war —
 it’s about control, pressure, and how conflicts really play out.

Welcome back to Fleeing Ignorance.
