pacific blockade

Read a random definition: advocatus

A quick definition of pacific blockade:

A pacific blockade is when a country stops other ships from going in or out of an enemy's ports without declaring war. This is done by stationing ships to intercept vessels trying to enter or leave those ports. For the blockade to be effective, there must be enough ships to prevent access to the ports. This is different from a public blockade, which is when a country gives formal notice to neutral nations about the established blockade.

A more thorough explanation:

A pacific blockade is a type of blockade that is established without a declaration of war. It is a belligerent's prevention of access to or egress from an enemy's ports by stationing ships to intercept vessels trying to enter or leave those ports. To be binding, a blockade must be effective, meaning it must be maintained by a force sufficient to prevent access to ports.

For example, during the American Civil War, the Union Navy established a pacific blockade of the Confederate ports along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. This blockade prevented the Confederacy from exporting cotton and importing much-needed supplies, ultimately contributing to their defeat.

Another example is the British pacific blockade of Germany during World War I. This blockade prevented Germany from receiving essential supplies, leading to widespread hunger and contributing to the eventual surrender of Germany.

In summary, a pacific blockade is a type of blockade that can be established without a declaration of war. It is a powerful tool used by belligerents to prevent access to enemy ports and ultimately contribute to their defeat.

In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV
babycat

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe
