The nation of Russia has now moved to slap a block on uranium exports, which could pose a direct threat to the United States causing energy brownouts all over the nation in the coming months. Could this be part of the country’s retaliation against the U.S. for the Biden administration giving the go ahead for Ukraine to launch missile attacks inside of Russia using American made weapons? Could this be a sign of further escalation in tension that could result in a third major global conflict?
“It puts us in a real bind, because … I just talked to a nuclear expert just before our call to get the specifics on this, and he told me that this decision will lead to brownouts, because there simply won’t be enough nuclear fuel for certain states to run their reactors to generate electricity,” Fred Fleitz, former Trump National Security Council chief of staff went on to say about the blocks on uranium exports. Fleitz made his comments during an appearance on the John Solomon Reports podcast according to Prophecy News Watch.
He then added, “So this is going to be a pretty vital issue for President Trump to deal with, and I wonder whether Putin did this to get some leverage in peace talks on Ukraine.”
Fleitz then explained that the issue goes all the way back to the plans of former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, along with policies implemented by current President Joe Biden.
“It was a terrible decision to make us dependent on imports of uranium from Russia,” he stated.
Just the News via PNW also said, “The U.S. nuclear energy sector’s dependence on Russian uranium created during a failed Obama-era reset with Moscow is coming back to bite Americans as the Kremlin moves to block future exports of the vital fuel.”
Vladimir Putin announced the new limits on uranium exports to the U.S., just as Russia’s war in Ukraine has been escalated by Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S. missiles to launch into Russia. The report noted, “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 report pointed out, “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.”
“Everything the Democrats have done has emboldened Russia and their ability to actually leverage their dirty gas production,” Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., went on to say during a “Just the news, No Noise” television show.
Nuclear power plants account for about a fifth of America’s electricity, and they depend on enriched uranium. They get about one quarter of the nation’s uranium supply from Russia. The report noted that the book “Fallout: Nuclear Bribes, Russian Spies, and the Washington Lies that Enriched the Clinton and Biden Dynasties” outlines the deals signed by Clinton and Obama that positioned the U.S. to be dependent on Russian 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,” book co-author Seamus Bruner then explained. Bruner added that the result of all this was that we became dependent on supplies from Russia while also experiencing the loss of a domestic industry.
“And so now we’re in this tough spot. Now we do have domestic producers, who are, you know, producing uranium for our energy needs, but there are no way, there’s no way they’re going to catch up,” Bruner further elaborated.
The JTN report also said that while Democrats were busy getting our country dependent on Russia, the country’s president, Putin, was taking action to ensure he controlled the global uranium supply through his company Rosatom.
“The Russian company’s efforts to acquire a Canadian company, Uranium One, became a scandal for the Obama administration because it saw the virtual elimination of U.S. domestic production of uranium and raised corruption concerns about some of its chief officials,” Just the News reported.
PNW further noted, “Production by Uranium One including that from Wyoming, Utah and other states accounted for about 20% of U.S. uranium capacity at the time, when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat on a committee and approved the sale.”
“The acquisition became a scandal that plagued her 2016 presidential campaign after investigative author Peter Schweizer and his Government Accountability Institute found nine Uranium One shareholders funneled $145 million into the Clinton Foundation before the deal was set to be considered,” Just the News stated.
Further, under Joe Biden, a move to counter the dependency on Russian uranium was adopted, but created a wide-ranging “waiver” system for companies to continue their purchases.
“We don’t have enough enriched uranium here,” Chris Gadomski, an analyst, said in an interview with Bloomberg News. “They should have been stockpiling enriched uranium in anticipation of this happening.”
