*sigh* There goes Glasnost! 20-something years of goodwill between us & the Ruskies shot to hell. Thanks a lot, Putin!
Well, this may be the thing we need to get NASA back in the "Blast Folks Into Space & Stuff" again! Hopefully, we would have voted out most or all of the Far-Right nuts out of Washington & be more willing to give NASA more money!
Heck, I've read that even many Republican voters are sick of the idiots passing for "Republican" these days. It would be great for Democrats to reach out to sane Republicans & Conservatives who aren't Far-Right crazy! We're in this together!
And who wants to sit on that smelly ol ISS, anyway? With our sanctions, it might hurt upkeep and god knows what would happen on that thing.
*sigh* I remember the days of Gorbechev, Peristroika, Glasnost, the fall of the USSR, the burgeoning partnership between us & Moscow. It wasn't a perfect friendship but it was something, considering our history. Granted, guys like Yeltsin were incompetent buffoons but at least Russians had more rights, LGBTs had more rights, Russia wasn't as invade-happy (though they still messed with Georgia & Chechnya on occasion) & things seemed fine between us.....
