Seventy thousand people live in Asbest, once known as “the dying city” for its extraordinary rates of lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases. But Uralasbest does not appear to have suffered any loss of status. It and other Russian asbestos producers operate with the swagger that comes from unwavering government support. Controversy bypasses them, perhaps in no small measure because Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is their ally. Nothing, it seems, is allowed to interfere with an industry that employs 400,000 people and, along with its counterpart in neighboring Kazakhstan, generates at least $800 million a year.

Could these these two things somehow be related?

Donald Trump And The Art Of Asbestos
According to the Republican presidential nominee, the anti-asbestos movement is a conspiracy rigged by the mob. Yes, the mob

Among all of Trump’s absurd ideologies, such as extreme vetting of immigrants and building a giant wall to keep them out, he also supports the use of asbestos. As a known carcinogen responsible for an estimated 10,000 American deaths a year, it’s surprising that a presidential candidate would uphold an industry that promoted its use.

A Russian asbestos company placed a seal with the face of President Donald Trump on their product with the note "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States."

Asbestos Is still legal in the US. It was never banned. Canada is considering a ban this year.

Trump Derangement Logic
  • OP Discovers that country that covers 1/6 of the Earth's surface, Russia, as result, has the most asbestos.
  • Light bulb goes off. Find a way to link it to Trump.
  • Post article from leftist Huffington Post & the fully discredited Snopes.
  • Bingo. Putin told Trump to say Asbestos is safe. Given as fact.
Has to be seen to be believed.

There was a monkey down in the Amazon basin that was swinging through the trees, going from branch to branch. Vladimir Putin was watching through the ebil eye which is suspended above Spassky Tower and decided he didn't like the monkey. He pressed a large red button and the monkey (in mid leap at that moment) was briefly distracted by a flair of pain as if being stung on its butt. The distracted monkey missed the next branch and plummetted to the floor of the forest and died.

Putin is a very powerful individual. He's watching you too.

By allowing asbestos to remain legal, the Trump administration would be responsible for a flood of asbestos imports from Russia and other countries into the US, as well as the wave of illnesses and deaths that will continue for years to come,” said Linda Reinstein, co-founder and president of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.

Last year, Brazil, which was responsible for the bulk of asbestos exports to the US, joined about 60 other countries in banning the product, leaving Russia as the major source of asbestos sent to America
