So Russia has Diamonds in an Impact Crater - Trillions of Carats. That is sufficient funds to put a 10 million population colony on the moon over the next century.

Would you live there?

Live in a crater in Russia? I'd better be paid in the hundred of thousands of dollars a year for that.

Yeah, no one wants to live in Russia. Even Russian don't want to live in Russia. Why would anyone want to live in a crator in Russia? That makes no sense.

I'd live in that Russian crater, as long as I was allowed to help myself to whatever rocks I wanted for my "collection".

No, you can only live there after all the diamonds have been mined out, and all the Russians are in space. You are also only take one blanket, one shoe, 2 hats, and an old toothbrush used to clean the latrines used by new recruits in boot camp... Russian boot camp.

It's too late. Your name has been added to the list. Once you're on the list, you no longer have a choice.

There is always a choice. We might not always like any of the options, but the choice is there. Unless you're dead, but at that point it doesn't really matter.
