Best bit: Japan (who lost the war with the USA) has 48 tons of plutonium(!)
A Green Road blog reports Aussies just booted a plan to import nuke waste from all over –
Mere Coincidence or somehow related? AREVA Nuclear Fuel Facility in Washington State used to be Exxon Nuclear Fuel until 2001. Former Exxon CEO, Rex Tillerson, as Secretary of State, is lead on plutonium fuel shipment approval under the terms of the US – Japan Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation Agreement of 1988, according to the article below. If it is like CFIUS then Trump has ultimate veto power.

Have you been following the Japanese PM Abe? I haven’t but everytime I go to photos from different countries, there he is. So, I’m wondering if he’s ever in Japan. He was visiting with the PM of Lithuania and just saw him on the White House flickr with Pence. I know he has a meeting with Putin in March, even though it is after the election and theoretically someone else could win.

Just everytime I go onto government web sites looking for pictures or press releases, there Abe seems to be. It’s freaking weird.

I think Pence is a big snake in the grass— He is not as noisy so more dangerous than Trump in many ways.
