Is Siberia valuable for the natural resources?
Siberia is an unbelievable resource for mining, lumber, and food potential. Russia is sitting on the potential “warehouse” of the world. They are too corrupt to make it profitable.
China will chew them up if Russia becomes too weak—or does something stupid in the West.
Siberia is a treasure house. Coal, oil, uranium, rare earth metals, lumber, and plenty of room for millions of Chinese.
