If you genuinely think the two terms are in distinguishable, the why the stubborn insistence on calling it a blockade? Just use the correct term and call it an embargo, and you could've avoided this exchange. If you really think they're indistinguishable you should have no qualm about using the word embargo.

The two terms are generally distinguishable. I said they are indistinguishable here. The situation here is not simply an embargo, which is the point.

The situation is a blockade which is a superset of an embargo.
