Taft is equally tentative in his interpretation of this aspect of the Court’s ruling, noting that “ [t]he Court’s statements might be read to suggest that military attacks on a State or its vessels do not trigger a right of self-defense as long as the attacks are not aimed specifically at the particular State or its vessels but rather are carried out indiscriminately”) (emphasis supplied).
