Connecting The Dots

But "In 2015, it produced just two percent of the world’s global supply". And uranium One operates in Canada, South Africa, Australia, etc. Please tell me what prohibits Russia from importing uranium from these other countries?

Oh, and 'As the New York Times has reported, the deal was made in separate transactions from 2009 to 2013. It made Russia’s atomic energy agency one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Russian President Vladimir Putin “closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.”'

BTW, both of those quotes are directly from your [source]

 

Yes, the US produces about 2% of the world's global supply of uranium. What is your point?

That's why the Russian company bought the Canada based company: to gain access to uranium from various regions around the world. However, Trump's repeated lie is that "We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country." He's not talking about uranium from Canada, South Africa, Australia, etc.

Trump could be talking about that, and if he did, he'd be making a truthful point. Instead he's chosen to lie repeatedly by saying that Clinton gave Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country.

 

But you said; "Even more importantly, Russia has no license to import uranium from the United States. In other words, none of the uranium mined by the Toronto company may be legally sent to Russia". None of the uranium mined by the Toronto company may be legally sent to Russia except the 98% mined outside the USA. The statement that "none of the uranium mined by the Toronto company may be legally sent to Russia" is total lie.

But you said "none of the uranium mined by the Toronto company may be legally sent to Russia". So did you lie or do they now have access to the uranium and, in fact, control of it?

So just what is the lie? Had Hillary said no, there would have been no deal. Russia now controls 20% of our uranium. If it makes any difference, they can now export our uranium to Syria or (you fill in the blank) and then import it from there. And the difference is? Oh, never mind. I know your answer. Trump said it.

 

Why do you find it necessary to lie? Is it now fashionable among Trump supporters because he's such a compulsive liar? That is a quote from one of the sources I supplied; I didn't say it, as you well know. Moreover, in context it is clear that the source is talking about US uranium. The article was refuting Trump's lie that Clinton "gave" 20% of US uranium to Russia. No US uranium will be going to Russia unless the Trump administration decides to give the Russian company an export license.

Cite a source that supports your assertion that the company gets 98% of its uranium outside the US. While the US produces 2% of uranium worldwide, that is not evidence that this particular company only gets 2% of its uranium from the US.

The Russian company that bought Uranium One now owns its mining rights. Uranium mined in the United States cannot be exported to Russia without an export license, which the Russian company does not have. The liars here are Donald Trump, who said that Clinton "gave" 20% of US uranium to Russia, and you, who have repeatedly quoted my source while attributing it to me.

If you had bothered to read up on this issue, you would know that it's unlikely that Clinton personally signed off on the deal. As well, one of the sources already quoted made it clear that the State Department did not have the exclusive right to determine whether the deal was blocked or given the go-ahead:

It's completely inaccurate to point a finger at Clinton, as if the deal had been under her exclusive control.

 

I did not lie. You posted it. You said it.
But that is not what is says. Is specifically says "none of the uranium mined by the Toronto company may be legally sent to Russia". American uranium or uranium mined in USA is totally omitted from that line.

2% isn't what is important in that context. Suppose it is 20%. Regardless of what the rest is, Russia gets to import it.

Russia mines it. Russia owns it. And that is exactly what Trump said. He said "We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country." It does not say Russia can import it. Trump says enough crap without you misinterpreting it for him.

And I repeat, if she did not agree, there would have been no deal. Again, citing your own words, "State was one of nine government agencies .... that had to sign off on the deal." The State Department had to sign off on the deal. I fail to see why you say "it's unlikely that Clinton personally signed off on the deal", but regardless, the State Department had to sign off and she was the head of the State department.

BTW, doesn't is seem odd to you that I keep citing your words (OK, the words you cited) to prove your hypotheses are wrong.

 

Sorry to interrupt, but I can't help myself. This is the blame game. A favored republican pastime.

I like my game more, and I suppose I shouldn't interrupt. It keeps non-cent's heart beating to have something to distract himself from thinking about trump and putin, sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

But I digress....please, continue.

 

Blame? Yep! I am reading his words back to him but you think I am blaming some one or some thing. You would have been better to keep you head in its hole.

 

You want connecting the dots?

Where is David?

He used to be here a lot, but *poof* he disappears and *poof* a teenager appears to promote the conservative agenda.

I mention that and *poof* that teenager disappears.

Makes me wonder... is David a "ghost", a phantom illusion?

Maybe time will tell.

 

Uh huh, and so you disregard, ignore, what he said, and do so TO IGNORE THAT TRUMP HAS CONNECTIONS TO RUSSIA.

But please, go on and disregard anything that mentions trump and Russia.

 

You can say and do what you want, but trump's Russian connections are not "going away"... no matter what you do.

But please, go on about this and that, and do your best to distract us from trump's Russian connections... if you can lol

 

So pathetic.... a republican party that supports putin.

 

Hey COKC, you really want to know the future?

YOU are not in it.

Enjoy.

 

I wonder; if I posted a quote from a speech by George Washington here inside a quote box with proper attribution of the source of the quote including a link, would rlm's cents insist that it was something I said?

 

Hahahah!!! Your predictions don't come true, D'Iqless1. Therefore, I'm certain to enjoy the future, thank you very much.

BTW... You never answered my previous question. You told us that you could see the future and that Hillary would be elected in 2016. How were you so wrong?

 

Were you to post it in support of an argument, yes. If you posted it and said you disagreed with it, then no.

Now, the posts in question were posted to belie what arizonajack. If you posted those to support his position, you have a very funny way of showing it.

 

If I quote something, by definition that means it's something that somebody else said. You only make yourself ridiculous with your Humpty-Dumpty act.

 

So you purposely put in a quote that you did not agree with to belie the point you were trying to make. HUH? Please explain why.

 

Whether I agree or disagree with something I have quoted has nothing to do with whether it's a quote or not. I didn't write it myself, and it's a lie when you say that the quote is something that I said.

Enjoy your tap-dancing; I know that others here find it worthwhile, but you really make yourself look like a complete numpty by pursuing this nonsense.

 

Me tap dancing? You post (notice I did not say you said) trying to disprove Hillary lived up to Trump's "We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country." that totally explained how she did it and you think I am tap dancing.
