    I don’t think it’s clear what he means, tbh. I don’t see how it could mean anything other than a permanent military presence there, which…isn’t currently on the table?

      Churchill was once a very busy port for industry. Ironically, it was the semi-privatization of railway that shut down the line to Churchill, making of it a twin that survives on tourism alone.

      There have been multiple proponents and plans to revive the shipping line and reactivate the port of Churchill, which would effectively help alleviate shipping reliance on east coast or west coast incoming, if the “hypothetical” of USA port infrastructure weren’t kept in account.

      Yeah that’s what I thought as well. They gotta create two blockades. But either way I’m all for transport infrastructure buildups as they’re more often than not a net benefit.
