They defend themselves

So if you wanted the minerals and drilled into the mountains, you would not have those tunnels under hundreds of meters of solid rock be used for nothing after?

Why would you put your military in the mountains

Especially as Russia

I guess the ventilation would be a nightmare.

No.

You don't put the god damn military there.

You put civilians, and make it easily defensible?

You can only fit so many people

Because you still need citizens if you want a country.

Why not keep them in Moscow

And if they fire bomb the place you put everyone.

Moscow has shelters built in

Which can be expanded for cheaper

And are much more convenient than evacuating them several hundred miles through terrorist land

I guess most land combat is outdated...

Land combat certainly isn't outdated

So having fortifications to defend from a land force on the border is kind of frivolous.

But Russia's weakness is the European frontier

Well, massive fortifications.

She should keep most of her forces there

I think if somebody managed to make a City inside the mountains and have it not be a horrible place, that is a city I would like to see.

Prohibitively expensive and unnecessary

Moscow Metro serves the same purpose

Pft, I'm talking about any mountains.

Cheyenne

Is a very large bunker

To carve a city of stone and to live in it.

That would be neat.

Maybe if I ever win the lottery I will go buy a dam.

You wouldn't win enough money

Not a large damn.

I've seen some that are small.

Only need about 2 million to buy a property with one.

Buy a decommed missile silo like everyone else

More secure

Can't wait to buy my very own McSilo

Silo living is some of the least mclifestyle there is

Considering if it's decommed it's probably flooded and rusted out, you have to build in it yourself

It's essentially 21st century homesteading
