Looks like Putin is feeling a bit bolder after Hillary’s generous gift of uranium.
You do know that not one gram of uranium went to Russia...right? Right?
Idiot.
That's not exactly true.
Fungibility - Wikipedia
Sory Vlad...but Uranium is TRACKED. There were NO export licenses sold along with that deal. Later there were licenses that allowed SOME of that yellowcake to go to CANADA for processing but NONE of that went to Russia.
NONE.
And besides...Putin has plenty of other sources.
I'm not saying that it did go to Russia, but, I'm saying that there would be ways that it could.
It would just get lost in the tracking from country to country. So, I'm saying
it's not impossible, just improbable
None of you read, or understands what Fungibility really means.
It means, that though uranium might not come from the U.S, or Canada, it would financially come from a source that is allowable, b/c Russia owns the financial rights to it now. IOW, it owns the financial rights, though not the physical rights to uranium in the U.S. or Canada.
It isn't necessary, or even logistically preferable for the uranium to come from N. America.
Perhaps this deal made it so now the Russians can get a hold of some Uranium that they previous could not have, from India, China, Central Asia, eastern Europe, or even Australia. Canada has more than Russia and the US combined. THAT is the point. It is like money, oil, or water. IT IS FUNGIBLE.
