The sheer immensity of Russia is difficult for most to comprehend; agriculturally they have more than sufficient arable land at latitudes suitable for farming (Canada is a huge wheat growing country).
Russia will not allow any GMO crops; is very keen on organic growing practices.
When I spoke of resources, agriculture is just a fraction of the picture. Fresh water abounds across the entire country, most (not all) not polluted.
The U.S. lust for the land occupied by Russia is for gas, oil, and most specifically mineral content. Agriculture would be very low on that list of priorities.
Geopolitically Russia is in the catbird seat, called the heartland of the Eurasian landmass.
Mackinder, Spykman, and Mahan are the authors of the Heartland Theory, presently being played out as I type this…
