What kind of straw man bullshit is this? Where has anyone said it is a national security threat? Hell, Raoul even directly stated otherwise.
It does give more money, influence, and legitimacy to somebody who has tried to influence American elections.
Looks like CR already shot down that bogus claim.
I love when morons like you jump to support other posts which make no sense. Then, when the original poster can't defend their bogus post, you also disappear.
"Crickets" because the guy posted late at night and you responded first thing in the morning when most people hadn't even read the board. "Crickets" because he used a straw man to force people into defending a position they never argued for. "Crickets" because that's the sound in your head when you try to think rationally.
Oh, you conveniently skipped the next part:
This is consistent with data provided by Vazquez. He estimates that of the 9.1 million tons of wrought (or finished) aluminum goods that the U.S. manufactured in 2017, 4.7 million tons – 52 percent – of unwrought aluminum inputs were imported.
By the estimate, the reliance actually decreased from 2016 to 2017. Regardless, nobody is arguing that opening this plant is a bad thing. What is being debated is yet another Russian who has tried harming the U.S. getting more money, more power, and more influence in America as a result of the cheeto administration grabbing their ankles again for their lords.
