The problem with Bears Ears and the Grand Stairway Escalante is that Russia has purchased a uranium company by the name of “Uranium One” through the Russian national nuclear company, “Rosatom.” Uranium One was originality owned by a Canadian interest. Trump opens up Utah to mining and now he is going to visit Vladimir Putin. Uranium One owns mining rights to ore in the USA.

It doesn’t get more corrupt than this; to have a USA president meeting with a sanctioned leader after opening uranium mining that Russia could have access to. What is going on, because, it sure isn’t national security. 

Trump pretends his presidential order is an attack against environmentalists and past Democratic presidents to satisfy his base when in actuality he is stroking Putin’s good side for personal reasons. Donald Trump has no interest in USA national security.

NATO needs to catch up on paying their two percent into the budget and they will be FINE. The US Congress needs to listen to USA generals and increase spending for NATO of which Trump opposes. NATO has grown in membership in the past decade, it is time to increase spending and secure Europe which has experienced an uptick in terrorism in the past couple years. 

Every interaction Trump has with Putin or any other Russian entity needs to be scrutinized and should be transparent.

To illustrate further the Trump corruption existing with Asia; his daughter Ivanka, has an $80 Billion (that is billion with a B) jewelry line made in China. It is imported to the USA without tariffs. When Trump complains about the USA trade deficit with China his daughter is among that deficit.

I find it interesting Ivanka uses cheap Chinese labor and her jewelry line is not stamped with a “Made in the USA” logo. She works as an advisor to the President. It is a violation of the Emoluments Clause and Congress does nothing to uphold the dignity of the US Constitution or national security.

A Congress is suppose to be a strong arm of the Constitution to protect the country. Instead, McConnell and Ryan speak rhetoric to the electorate and hope Trump isn’t compromising the USA in any serious way. I think opening up uranium mining to a Russian company is compromising the USA. Seriously compromising the USA. Republican politics when they hold the majority in Congress opens the USA and it’s allies to a great deal of danger, yet alone corruption.
