Two uranium mines in Wyoming are on their way to control by a Russian company now that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved transferring the mines' licenses
The commission last week approved the license transfer involving a Russian company, JSC Atomoredzoloto, or ARMZ, which expects to obtain a controlling interest in Canadian-owned Uranium One by year's end. Uranium One holds the licenses for a proposed in-situ uranium mine and an existing in-situ uranium mine in northeast Wyoming.

Russia is an enemy of the United States. They have been and they will continue to be until Putin, the "Our Russia" party, and the Communists, are gone.
You are conflating The Soviet Union - which was an enemy - and Russia which is not. Times have changed and you need to face up to the real dangers in the world which are not coming from Russia!
Then explain this...
Is this because Zero said so? Russia is not our friend. They just killed a bunch of journalists again. They continue to arm rogue regimes. And, their missiles are certainly not pointed at the Middle East; their missiles are pointed at the United States! Such "Frends" huh? And, Lenin is still on display in Russia, with the Communists holding some official power. And, a KGB agent runs Russia as their defacto leader.
NO not because of Zero——some conservative insiders - the non neo con types - share the belief that we need to cooperate with a natural ally in the face of resurgent islam-— - not the Soviet Union obviously an aberrant period———Russai yes. Look - Lenin’s picture is probably more popular in the US than in Russia - some elderly and others who “long” for “stability” perhaps and their love affair with Georgian born Marxist Stalin-—these commies had no ethnicity anyway.
The picture of the soldier standing at attention-—we have ours too. Other nations have pride in their military and justifiably so. The “journalists” - nobody has proven how they were attacked. I am quite confident that it had nothing to do with a Russian govt entity ...
One more thing: the Soros organization is PNG in Russia—that should tell you lots.
The fact of the matter is that Putin and Medvedev stand prouldy Christian in a secular world having been baptized in the Orthodox faith ...And Solzhenitsyn the greatest Christian intellectual of the 20th century gave his stamp of approval to Putin before he died.
AND one more—Communists do not have any official power in Russia-—they are one of many political parties—think about this-—we have our version of COmmunists-—lots of them...probably lots more than in Russia.
IN the last elections they won one precint in Moscow— the University of Moscow precint! SOund familiar?
Then why is Lenin still on display? Why hasn’t the Communist Party been banned like it was in Poland? Why is a former high ranking KGB agent in charge of Russia?
I know. Be aware however that Lenin is certainly not banned here. (God bless Poland for banning that hideous creature.) Here in the US there are 5 !!! statues of his hideousness:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statues_of_Lenin#Other_places
AS for Putin-—people change. We have many leaders in the conservative movement who were once in the Left.
The people elected a traitor for president and only the most stupid do not realize it now.
Amazing, how dopey but basically harmless libs quickly get booted off this site while pro-Russia, pro-Putin propagandists stay on indefinitely. Russia has never stopped supporting America’s many enemies. From Saddam to Iran to North Korea to the ChiComs to the Castro bros to Chavez and various other Marxist dictatorships throughout Central and South America. Yet eleni121, kronos77, and a few other creeps here keep telling us they are wonderful!

Venezuela's Chavez welcomes Russian warships
Nov 25, 2008
LA GUAIRA, Venezuela – Russian warships arrived off Venezuela's coast Tuesday in a show of strength aimed at the United States as Moscow seeks to expand its influence in Latin America. The deployment is the first of its kind in the Caribbean since the Cold War and was timed to coincide with President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Caracas — the first ever by a Russian president.

"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been visiting countries such as China, Iran and Russia as part of an effort to build a 'strategic alliance' of interests not beholden to the United States. He considers the United States his arch enemy.":

The media has been abuzz today at the prospect of Russian nuclear bombers being stationed in Cuba if the US goes ahead with plans for missile defense bases in Eastern Europe.
The story has riled the US enough that a US general has been wheeled out to tell the world’s press that any Russian attempt to build another nuclear base in Cuba would cross US “red line”.
The story broke earlier this week, when Russian newspaper Izvestia quoted an un-named source from within the Russian military. He told the Russian daily:
“While they are deploying the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, our strategic bombers will already be landing in Cuba.”
The quote hasn’t been independently confirmed, but the Russian Defense Ministry added fuel to the fire when they refused to comment on the story.
The prospect of Russian nuclear forces being stationed in Cuba - which is, after all, only 90 miles from the US coast - would bring back some rather unpleasant memories for the US of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where the Soviet Union under Nikita Kruschev launched an audacious and foolhardy bid to station nuclear missiles on the Caribbean island.

Russia to help Cuba modernize weaponry, train military
September 18, 2009
HAVANA, September 18 (RIA Novosti) - Modernization of the Soviet-made military equipment and training of Cuban military personnel will be the focus of Russian-Cuban military cooperation in the near future, the chief of the Russian General Staff said on Friday. Gen. Nikolai Makarov arrived on a working visit to Cuba on Monday, met with Cuban President Raul Castro and the country's military leadership, and visited a number of military installations.
"During the Soviet era we delivered a large number of military equipment to Cuba, and after all these years most of this weaponry has become obsolete and needs repairs," Makarov said.
"We inspected the condition of this equipment, and outlined the measures to be taken to maintain the defense capability of this country...I think a lot of work needs to be done in this respect, and I hope we will be able to accomplish this task," the general said.
Makarov said the Cuban request for assistance with training of military personnel will also be fully satisfied.
Although the Cuban leadership has repeatedly said it has no intention of resuming military cooperation with Russia after the surprise closure of the Russian electronic listening post in Lourdes in 2001, bilateral military ties seem to have been improving following the visit of Russian Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin to Cuba in July last year.
A group of Russian warships, led by the Admiral Chabanenko destroyer visited Cuba in December last year during a Caribbean tour.
The two sides [Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia] agreed to "promote and enhance friendly relations" in line with the joint declaration of July 19, 2000 and the Russia-DPRK friendship and good neighborly cooperation treaty of February 9, 2000.
Putin and Kim agreed during their talks to promote a Russian- DPRK political dialogue on the Korean issue and international affairs, and discussed many topical international problems, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Prikhodko told reporters following the talks.
The two leaders spoke for an independent and peaceful solution to the issue of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and against "any outside obstacles to this process" as "unacceptable."
I’m beginning to wonder whether Obama’s parents had any kids that lived....
Or these narco muslim terrorists:
The US has signed treaties and friendship agreements with more tyrants than can be imagined. It happens all the time as a matter of course and politics at its worst. Should this change? Yes I think so. Should the US stop paving the way for corporations to spread their tentacles everywhere esp when those tentacles are amoral? I think so. But don’t go pointing any fingers unless you clean up here first.
Russia has been taking care of their islamic fundie problem far better and for far longer than we have. we need to learn from them and ally ourselves with them.
