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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ports_in_the_United_States) 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.
