13. There is no 'Our Uranium'. Uranium is a publicly traded, Privately owned commodity

Just like there is no 'Our Oil'. You know how we get told we 'Need to drill baby drill' to increase 'our' domestic production of oil so we won't be beholden to them Dang Arabs and 'their' oil.

THERE IS NO OUR OIL!! ME AND YOU AND ALL THE REST OF US AMERICANS DON'T OWN ANY OIL. THE OIL INDUSTRY IN THE US IS NOT A STATE RUN BUSINESS!! Private companies produce, refine and sell oil all over the world. 'Our' Government doesn't produce or sell any oil. None. Zero. Zip. Never has, never will.

Same will Uranium.

It ain't like Fort Knox where we hoard our gold. We don't hoard 'Our' Uranium.

Internationally owned PRIVATE Companies dig Uranium ore from inside And outside the US. Some of these companies are based in the US, but most are not. They take a the ore they dig from inside the US and put it in the same pile of Uranium that they dug from Europe, Africa, and Asia. And these Private companies sell that pile of Uranium to whoever the hell pays for it. Russia or China or US or Iran. Or any number companies based in any damn country they damn well please.

So I would like for somebody to try to explain to me how Hillary and Bill Clinton sold 'Our' Uranium to Russia. Lol

Jesus wept, I am but a simple man but don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining.
