ISS is a leftover from a time when such collaboration was possible. Putin’s genocidal regime must be crushed, and russia should not be invited to participate in whatever endeavor comes next to replace our aging space station. When that time comes let the ISS burn up over moscow I say.

This is a pretty fucked opinion that is divorced from reality. Read up on interagency relations and the lack of politics among space administrtions.

My father's lady friend has a son that works with NASA. He spends weeks at a time in Russia working with his equivalents there. They share a common dedication.

If we were capable of working with Stalin during the world war and then during the Cold War, we can work with Putin now.

Gross, I wouldn’t be proud of working with Stalin. Might as well talk about how we could have worked with Mussolini. I guess I just prefer to work with nations that don’t rape women, murder the elderly, bomb apartment buildings, and cut the genitalia off of prisoners of war.

You’ll have to stop working with any country that engages in warfare, including the United States.

That is how we get WW3. We have to be better than hating people who were born near where a few asshats were.

However, first we need to put a tile on Putin, then have ISS track to that tile. Drop the entire fucking thing right on top of him! Instantly World Peace achieved! LOL

I understand your sentiment, but the scientific loss of the ISS would be significant. We have less costly things to drop on Putin's head if that is how we must deal with him.
