Looks like the Rooskies reoriented towards Muslim outreach a bit earlier than NASA.
Rookies been making their nut off the US as a taxi service to the ISS.
There are many more Mooselimbs where the Rooskies live than there are here (fortunately).
Thus, the Rooskies have necessarily developed an aptitude for Mooselimb outreach. Consider how they reached out to those Mooselimbs who took over the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow in 2002. Consider the manner in which, in 1986, they reached out and touched a relative of a Lebanese Shia leader, whom they believed responsible for the kidnap/murder of a Soviet diplomant.
The Rooskies have forgotten more about Mooselimb outreach than BHO knows.
