Never said that.
Any more comments stating things that I want that I never indicated verbally or in writ?

Rew says

You want the US to invest in being able to nuke another quarter of the world,

Ranina ranina says

Never said that.

You didn't write much of anything in the OP. You even put treason in quotes, so we have no idea what you mean by that. It's a very vague post, so you have people trying to infer some meaning from your post. If you don't like it, just be clear. It's not complicated.

Hmmm...Russia takes the lead in nuclear weapons....Russia then takes Crimea...Russia installs state of the art anti aircraft weapons in Syria...Russia warns US they have nuclear weapons too when Obama does a baby sword rattle...Russia in process of leveling Aleppo daring USA to do anything about it..

Maybe the game now is whoever leads in nuclear capacity dictates events and outcomes, since the weapons themselves will never be used, other than by terrorists...

Rew says

If it really did matter that they have 200 more warheads, which it doesn't,

Who the fuck in their right mind gives Russia control over any of our uranium (read "nuclear") resources?

The committee for foreign investments. Which isn't under the state department so I really don't know how you or bloomberg manage to tie the clinton foundation in

Jesus Christ. Neither the US nor Russia is limited by raw materials when deciding how many nukes to have on hand.

This sentence makes no sense. You are stating that the weapons will never be used. Therefore, whoever 'leads' in capacity gets to dictate world events. That is illogical.
Putin is getting away with a lot. Part of that is Obama's dovish stance w/r/t Russia, and part of it is Putin taking advantage of the fact that Obama is a lame duck at the moment. Obama doesn't want to start a big conflict on his way out of office, mostly because the next president is the one who will have to prosecute the effort, and SHE should be the one to set the tone. Putin is pushing his luck, though, IMO.

I'm sure that's it. If the US could only destroy Russia 10 times over and Russia can destroy the US 11 times over--that would be a huge deterrent.

We know what the word means, but when you put it in quotes, you are indicating that you are not using the word literally. If you want to emphasize it, use something else.

Not really. Reagan's buildup of the military, and Russia's lame attempt to keep up, bankrupted them and was the major force in the breakup of the soviet union.
No war between the countries occured, but the US wound up dictating world events for the most part for the next 20 years or so.

I'm not. But it's a viable hypothesis given ....

and how exactly did the clinton foundation influence the other 20 or so people on the committee , most of them full department heads none of them under hillary, to approve the deal? Bloomberg wrote it, you believe it should be true, that makes it true. Repeating bullshit multiple times doesn't make it true. Maybe you could try thinking on your own rather than being led around by your nose. Na that would be too hard.

Ranina ranina says

Active uranium production. Not uranium production capacity. Two very different things. There are literally hundreds of inactive uranium mines that could be reopened at any time if the demand were there. OMG do you mean bloomburg didn't mention that along with skipping the people on the committee besides clinton? Do you suppose this was just sloppy reporting or maybe, just maybe bloomburg shaded the story just a little teeny tiny bit assuming the average trumptard would eat it up no matter what. Oh no say it ain't so joe.

The just make shit up club is getting bigger and bigger every day.

We noticed that every time you post in a thread. Why do you do that?

Grump, grumpy. You did get sticky stuff all over the keyboard thinking about cows and sheep didn't you?

Even the liberal bastion of righteousness, the New York Times, agrees with me...

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Why do Rep/Con/Teas allow other countries to have nuclear weapons?
Nixon,Reagan,both Bushes didn't take them.
Rep/Con/Teas allowed outsourcing to Communist China to take stupid american's dollars.
Got enough money ,one can develop nuclear capability.

Fuck R/C/T Christians for allowing the Blaspheming Israel to have nuclear weapons.
