Unless you were there 3020, and part of the negotiations, and have FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE AGREEMENT YOU KEEP REFERRING TO, your post is nothing more than hear-say.
As Americans, we aren't privy to the technical workings of diplomatic agreements. Maybe parts, but not all. Russia is the only place on Earth where many of our world's rare Earth's are mined. You have no idea if this deal involved trading some of our excess material, for some of theirs.
It's how you Republicans love to work. You pull out parts of a story, that you think will benefit you by pissing off the most people.
It's how you do the Bible too....you guys love to pick out passages when they suite your needs, and love to use God as the reason that some calamity strikes countries, like Haiti. Yet, if you ever notice, it is the Southern United States - the Bible Belt, that racks up the largest amount of natural disasters in a given year. Yet, then, you hear not one say, "The South deserved it, for their disobedience of God!!!"
Amazing how that works somehow. But, it's just SOP for the Republicans of this country...
Tick Tock....
