Spouseanon was poking around NARA archives and found some stuff which brought up the question “when did the Uranium One fiasco truly start?”
There are 80-something articles with Slick Willy and Yeltsin doing press briefings and such (early 90’s). Yeltsin seems like a true leader trying to help his people while Slick Willy seems to be trying to get leverage with Ukraine and uranium. BTW- Yeltsin was trying to get rid of the central bank back then.
Here’s a search results link of the docs I’m slowly reading through. It’s definitely interesting in light of what we know (recent history) and what became of past players like Gazprom. Oh- and they were working with US company (General Atomics) on a “reactor of the future” which must not have panned out.
(Spouseanon had just searched “Clinton” but I tried narrowing it down further)
