TRAPPED - US nuclear might is heavily dependent on Russia

Isn’t this the ultimate irony? The pot calling the kettle black, or rather, Uncle Sam wagging a finger at the world for a vice it indulges in behind closed doors.

It is audacious for the United States, which has been vehemently rallying the world to sever ties with Russia, to be heavily dependent on Russia for its nuclear energy needs. And yet, here we are, Joe, you’ve outdone yourself in the hypocrisy department.

The facts are as stark as they are shocking. According to a recent report in the New York Times, American companies import nearly $1 billion worth of uranium from Russia each year. This is despite the countless sanction packages by Washington and the EU aimed at debilitating Russia’s economy. Conveniently, nuclear fuels have been the one item conspicuously missing from these sanction packages.
