Surely, you remember Uranium One. The Clintons sold 20% of our uranium to Russia after being stroked to the tune of a $500,000 speakers fee for Slick and millions funneled to and laundered through the Clinton Foundation.
The Russians did not buy uranium one to get US uranium assets. Yes, we have such resources but they are not the worlds cheapest, we’re dismantling our nuclear industry, and the entire industry here must deal with rabid environmentalists and a bloated and leftist regulatory structure. It’s a crappy business. We should not kid ourselves about how skilled or attractive we are relative to the rest of the world
The Russians bought Uranium One to get the company’s JV assets in Kazakstan, which at the time was ramping up to become the largest and cheapest supplier in the world, right on Russia’s border.
AND YES, the Clinton’s DID sell fed.gov permission for the deal to be allowed. Once the sale was completed, Russia sold or shut down the US assets. They had no interest in them
