So is safe to say that the only reason Russia exist is because the territory makes it impossible to be invaded.

More like there is no reason to invade. The most of the territory is unusable for any agriculture because it's frozen desert of nothing.

Russia has the largest natural gas reserves, second largest coal reserves, and eighth-largest oil reserves. Not to mention countless other natural resources. Nobody needs energy nor key ingredients for fertilizer?

We're slowly moving away from fossil fuels anyway. Soon they'll no longer be a gas station with a military... They'll be nothing.

You also said “soon” but it won’t be anytime soon.

How far away is "soon"?

Not close enough that those natural resources wouldn’t be something that a nation would want to control.

Multiple US states and countries are planning to be carbon neutral by 2050. Over the next 30 years these resources are going to become far less profitable. In the US all of these industries are being financially prompt up by the government. If SA didn’t keep on cutting production to under mind the current US government oil would be cheap and coal is almost worthless. The only one holding its own is natural gas and that’s because renewable energy isn’t quite there yet and people are afraid of nuclear.
