I’m not sure I get it… some ports can stay open all year, some cannot. The ones that can are called warm water ports. It’s a very helpful geographic feature for any country to have so they can enjoy uninterrupted shipping for trade and transport. Dude is making the case that Texas could stand alone as a country.
I see, thanks. I consider it a general term but I can see how it may have strong associations with Russia, especially because many Americans probably heard the term for the first time after Crimea.
Yeah, we have so much fucking ocean access. Apparently the ports of Houston and Corpus Christi are our numbers 1 and 3 used ports by tonnage, but it makes sense because oil. We have major ports all over the place including in multiple landlocked states. Our entire northeast coast is geographically cheating to being a major maritime power, and our west coast is as well between the PNW’s Puget Sound and Columbia River, northern California’s San Francisco Bay, and southern California’s plenty of choices as well.

Because its an “inglourious basterds” three raised fingers giveaway that tje poster is not American, probably Russian

Russians care about warm water ports because they have few of them and the ones they have are inconveniently located.
Americans don’t even think about specifying that a port is warm water because they all are in the contiguous 48.
Ergo the poster is probably a Russian bot.
It’s the same how certain spellings give away Yanks trying to Larp as British
Or like that fake British post a week or two ago where a guy mentioned someone hitting his “fanny.”

Excellent clarification. Love the IB reference. QT is a dipshit, but that scene is a fucking masterpiece.
the term is Shibboleth
Either that or its a person who read “prisoners of geography” and now considers themselves to be an expert in geopolitics
