The Holy Empire of Anastamber has announced the sealing of a trade deal with the Dominion of the Very Evil Overlord whereby Anastamber will sell processed uranium to the Dominion for as long as the mines can run at slightly less than market price.
"We are very excited to find a buyer for this newest economic commodity," explained Anastamberan Trade Sub-minister Dewey Cheatum. "We were willing to lower our prices to slightly less than market standard for the guarantee of a secured sale of the entire product and a promise that the resultant bombs would never be used against us. The government of Anastamber feels the resultant loss from lower prices will be offset by the volume of material sold over the years. And the hostages we demanded were a deal clincher."
"The Dominion has decided using the foolish serfs of Anastamber for the first steps of mining and processing the uranium will allow us to conquer them more easily later," stated Unit #876542984-U, Lackey for Unbalanced Trade Deals with As Yet Unassimilated Foreign People. "The resulting sickness and diversion of manpower from the military will weaken their ability to resist. The price of the uranium was immaterial as we will merely loot it from their irradiated bank accounts after their domination. As for the hostages, what do I need my offspring for anyway?"
