On another note USA doesn't need to buy Russian uranium and especially with tensions high they may fear Russia may stop supply (13%). A breakdown of roughly what US imports.
Nuclear energy companies in the U.S. didn’t import uranium from China in 2018. Instead, they imported from a variety of countries in short- and long-term contracts: Canada (24%), Kazakhstan (20%), Australia (18%), Russia (13%), Uzbekistan (6%), and Namibia (5%).  so second highest import is Kazakhstan, so if USA controlled that and got it pretty much for free, and even if it lost Russian import it would simply bring the additional 13% from USA controlled Kazakhstan, in fact it would probably rape even more and reduce its import from other countries and get it all pretty much free.

I rest my case.

Did the US import Afghanistani uranium under a different label to hide the theft?

This happened when we were completely dependent on Russia. Russia came, took Nagorno-Karabakh from us, returned it to Azerbaijan, then returned, that’s the whole reality. I claim that it was Russia that took away Nagorno-Karabakh.
An amazing situation is developing: the Pashinyan administration refused to fight for Nagorno-Karabakh , giving the historical Armenian territory to be torn to pieces by the Azerbaijanis.

Along with this, the country's authorities made a turn towards the West , invited European vacationing observers and froze participation in joint blocs with Russia. Of course, except for the EAEU.

Then they began to voluntarily surrender their own territories to Azerbaijan, driving their residents out of their homes and receiving nothing in return. And subsequently they declared an incomprehensible world, the conditions of which are vague , and the prospects are extremely depressing.

And now they are shifting responsibility for their actions, or rather inaction , to Russia. Moreover, this was done simultaneously with the statement of former US Ambassador John Heffern to Armenia that all the activities of the US ambassadors were aimed at separating Armenia from Russia.

Why did Grigoryan even say this? In addition to the standard search for the culprit everywhere except at home, this also serves another purpose. Apparently, Yerevan intends to raise the stakes not only in the region itself, but also in relations with Russia in order to get the reaction they need. Which one? Most likely we will find out soon.

It would make more sense to "disband" those countries as sovereign entities.

Probably it will happen in the mid term future for a bunch of them
