1. easy-to-reach meaning surface strip mining ?

2. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/09/12/russias-easy-to-reach-mineral-deposits-nearly-depleted-minister-says-a86349) reduced by 84%. (I’m a bot)

   > Large and easily accessible mineral deposits in Russia are nearly depleted, the head of Russia's Natural Resources Ministry said Wednesday.

   > Environmental experts, speaking to the independent environmental outlet Kedr, expressed concerns that future mineral exploration in fragile regions like Russia's Arctic would likely be carried out without sufficient environmental safeguards, potentially leading to serious ecological damage.

   > These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia.

3. Headline in 10 years: The Russians delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness

4. And what did you spend your earnings on? Death and suffering

5. Time to find some deposits abroad, migrate some Russians, and declare new borders.

6. Must construct additional pylons

7. And it’s unlikely they’ll find new minerals, yes?

8. No they’re not, they just want an excuse to block sale to the west.

9. Oh well.

   Russia is still the richest resource land mass in the world, even more so than Africa. Has enough resources to sustain itself for a long time, so just means more resources to mine that’s all

10. guess they’ll have to go to the hard to reach ones

11. Does that mean Mongolia will be invaded next?

12. That why they have security for minerals program…26+ bilateral military agreements with northern and East African countries…6 new military bases in last 10 years

13. Would make sense why they want Donbas; loads of easy to reach mineral deposits there
