Gee I wonder who else has a lot of tappable helium- ah, right. russia.

Russians aren't brown skinned people tho. We almost exclusively bomb brown skin people.

We do, but what I mean is this is yet another way Russia will benefit from the pedo-war. Oil goes up, they become a critical supplier of helium, they'll make shitloads of billions to try and prop their own war machine back up. One big huge giant present to Putin, one dictator to another.

to try and prop their own war machine back up.

I don't honestly think that Russia couldn't already afford modern infrastructure and military, as much as I think the government crippled because it's basically run mafia style where everyone is skimming heavily. on the take. and money being funneled to already wealthy pockets. This sounds vaguely familiar. Even down to people 'falling' out of a window from great heights. I get what you are saying tho. Russia is rich in natural resources if they can figure out how to extract a lot of it from the frozen tundra.

They can let other people do the building and extracting, just like oil companies used to do throughout the third world countries in the past century.
