Re: "With today's mining technologies that could be claimed about most countries in the world."

Oh, I don't think so!

(If you don't have gold/coal/oil/etc, etc., etc. then you don't.)

Re: "You hear that they thingk Afghanistan has a Trillion in rare earths and other materaials."

Yep!

But they don't have anything ELSE that would be necessary to monetize the resources: rule of law (so contracts can be enforced), security (hard to mine in the middle of a war), road, rail and port infrastructure (got to get the ore out to markets), electricity and water --- can't mine without 'em.

BIG differences.
