Hillary Clinton's Uranium Giveaway to Russia Is About to Bite Us on the... You Know

John Solomon and Steven Richards reported for Just the News late Monday night that "It's the latest fallout from a series of foreign policy decisions crafted by Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton that inexplicably strengthened Putin's ability to wage economic warfare with energy supplies such as natural gas and uranium."

“[The] United States used to produce its own nuclear materials for bombs and then for nuclear energy, and it was the Clinton administration they made this deal with the Russians way back in the 90s to purchase all of this down blended material from, you know, the decommission nuclear warheads from Russia,” Seamus Bruner, co-author of “Fallout: Nuclear Bribes, Russian Spies, and the Washington Lies that Enriched the Clinton and Biden Dynasties," told Solomon on Monday

There's much less call for domestic enrichment when the supplies come from overseas. Giving Russia control of our unprocessed uranium boosted Russian enrichment facilities at the expense of our own.

For anyone still in doubt, Uranium DOES NOT come from Uranus.

It is easy blaming Clinton, Obama and Biden but what did Bush and Trump do to reverse those decisions?

I was at one time very active in uranium exploration and development in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. I knew the industry well when Hillary made the horrendous deal that left foreign entities control the uranium supplies.

I suspect the Russian/Ukrainian war will be over in less than three months.

We will be getting a new President who desires peace, not a white person vs. white person bloodbath.

Really????

Damn. The what good is my Anium????

Oldplayer, are there significant deposits of uranium in the Powder River Basin in WY?

Yeah.

I won’t be one of those saying “What did Bush and Trump do about it?” and will stick with putting the blame SQUARELY AND WITHOUT RESERVATION where it belongs

On Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Very good; now millions of demonKKKrats will sleep easier tonite. LOL.

Uranium comes from uranium mines. The US doesn’t have much, if any. God put it elsewhere, mostly Russia and Kazahkstan. Australia and Canada have some.

When it comes out of the ground it is 99.3% U238. 0.7% U235.

U235 is the good stuff.

So you grind up the rock, dissolve it in special chemicals. This can be viewed as pre-processing. But it’s sometimes called “enriched”, which it is not.

Enriching is done by getting that 0.7% up to 5% for reactor fuel. 90% for weapons.

Typical way is with a centrifuge. U238 has 3 more neutrons and is thus a tiny bit heavier. You spin it up and the 238 moves outwards, leaving the 235 inward. Open the container, scrape out the 238 (not literally, figuratively), close the container and spin some more.

That sort of thing. That’s how you enrich uranium, meaning get the 0.7% up to 5%. Takes a very long time.

Oldplayer is correct

As we all know, once the “deep state” and all its various cronies create a policy, all the Uniparty players just play along, don’t question it, and establish their channels of grift.

environmentalists, and Fed.gov at many levels were busy shutting down nuclear power and making existing plants outrageously expensive. The propaganda told us Green energy would propel us into the future. Remember “drill baby drill?” Yes, fracked oil and gas was super-cheap as well. 20 years ago, if you proposed building new nuclear plants, you would be viewed as Satan.

For Sure, the Clinton’s got obscenely rich off the Uranium One deal. But that’s what you get with the Uniparty and bloated deep state - corruption and herd mentality.

Oh yeah.

I think we have a good grasp on that Deep State dynamic works...
