Receiving much pushback for calling out #GenMilley's @thejointstaff comment on Ukraine as 'landlocked'.

Critics argue that 🇷🇺 control over the #BlackSea renders 🇺🇦 effectively landlocked.

However, even a broad interpretation of 'landlocked' is flawed. Here's a 🧵why:
Claiming UKR is landlocked militarily requires overlooking Crimea's significance to Putin. It's key in controlling access to the crucial Caspian Sea, Don-Volga Canal, and a major portion of Russia's extensive inland waterway system. #Ukraine #MilitaryPerspective
In 2021, Putin emphasized the waterway's importance, pledging billions for development to connect the Black Sea and the Baltic.

8 JANUARY 1815 – BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS – WAR OF 1812
In the War of 1812’s last major battle, MG Andrew Jackson defeated a numerically superior British force and defended New Orleans, one of the most critical commercial ports in the fledgling United States.

#Armyhistory #USArmy
Near the end of Dec. 1814, a large force of British troops under MG Sir Edward Pakenham landed unopposed 15 miles from New Orleans, beginning a campaign to seize the city.Under the leadership of MG Jackson, the Americans established Line JACKSON, 5 miles from New Orleans.
A force composed of 8 batteries of artillery and about 3,500 men, including Army regulars, sailors, marines, militia, Choctaw warriors, and pirates, manned the mile-long line. Another 1,000 U.S. militia under BG David Morgan and a naval gun battery defended the right bank.
