I disagree, I think it would be easier. I think they'd probably starve them all. Nothing short of UN sanctions could stop them.

People call it a siege, but its not a real one. It could be. Humans require 2000 calories a day, roughly.

And WP is frequently used in smoke applications, where it is permitted. It's not completely banned. While I won't say they aren't misusing it to cause fear and suffering, it is a common tool employed by armies for use outside of deadly munitions.

At any rate, thanks for answering. I understand better.
