Indeed, yes. I’d quite hope to see a deal where Chinese interests buy, lease, or otherwise peacefully mine Siberia - it would be cheaper, in the long run, then war. Russia has a history (Alaska) of selling resources they couldn’t develop, having under utilized them for centuries, I’d hope to see them follow that template. I’d be even happier if a U.S. leader could parlay their competition to our gain :)
If Russia evolves to free market capitalism, and becomes a very tough competitor, we all gain, or we don’t deserve to.
