re: #556 Obdicut

It’s not just a perimeter you have to create, unless you’re teleporting the stuff you take out of there. The entire supply line has to be protected. And the infrastructure would have to be built.

It may happen, but it’ll surprise the hell out of me if it actually becomes viable.

Which pretty much will be rail I suspect. You could arguably think about moving large amounts of ore a fair distance by truck, but that is generally special operations and very well-maintained road beds even then. (Plus, if you’re moving by truck you’re going to draw bandits (or equivalent) after parts, fuel, etc.

So, given that, what is the current state of Afghanistan’s rail network, and does it extend to the proposed mining locations?
