Elon Musk's Space X Might Need to Rescue an American Astronaut Stranded by Russia
Red State ^ | Mar 12, 2022 4:45 PM ET | By Duke

Mr. Elon Musk, it looks like America and one of her astronauts aboard the International Space Station might need you. You know, the place where your space capsules have gone to a number of times, and have allowed the United States to not depend on the Russians for a lift up and back home.

Thankfully, the private sector, led by Elon Musk and his company Space X in conjunction with NASA, recently allowed the United States to forgo depending in Russia for rides, and now can send manned rockets from the United States’ soil again.

In all honesty, I have no idea if Dmitry Rogozin is being serious about leaving any American on the station while defending his boss Putin’s boneheaded decision to invade Ukraine. That he would even joke about such a thing, when tensions are at an all-time high over this illegal action, shows that, once again, the Russians do public relations about as well as Kamala Harris taking a European tour reassures our allies.

Badly.

Is it true that Russia is our negotiator with Iran about the nuclear deal? If so, the leaders of our world must be either completely evil or completely insane… Maybe both

Russia’s threat highlights the risk involved in dealing with Russia in any enterprise. The threat is unbecoming of a great nation. Russia, therefore, is not a great nation.

It’s HYSTERICAL. We need Russia to sign-off on the Iran deal so that the price of oil will drastically decline, thereby cutting off Russia’s major source of hard currency.

Yep.

Well, Russia can figure that out too. So they’ve submitted some ‘conditions’ before they’ll sign.

The upcoming SpaceX mission to the ISS was originally going to take a cosmonaut. Perhaps they can leave the seat empty for the stranded NASA astronaut to hitch a ride home.

Perhaps rather than deal with evil elon, NASA can muslim outreach the astronaut safely to the ground

Same can be said for China trade.

Good idea but it won’t work as there are 5 astronauts who need to return with 4 returning on the Dragon and the other was suppose to return on a Soyuz.

It would would have been good for the writer to at least have done basic research and found out that Musk ALREADY said he would help.

Yes, it’s true, Iran will not talk directly to the USA, they talk to Russia, Russia relays what they said, we respond in the reverse order.

How crazy is it, that we use Russia to negotiate with Iran and while we engage in Economic war with Russia and supply arms to a nation, they are waging war against all at the same time.

That’s because his factories aren’t union. Biden’s tax breaks for E.V.s are limited to union-built EVs and when Brandon had a meeting with EV manufacturers Musk, who sells the most EVs was not invited.

Apparently. The Biden rEsident seems to think the Russians are the good guys with Iran, but bad guys with the Ukraine. Worse, the Russians apparently are qualified to represent our best interests.

One the first, if not the first, time an enemy state is placed in negotiations for the USA. I’d think that traitorous act would be grounds for impeachment, conviction, and removal, were such a thing possible now.

But, we have to keep in mind that the Biden rEsident has plans to utterly destroy the USA, so this is in keeping - BTW were are all the howls from the Congressional GOP, conservative talking heads, radio heads and writers?

Crazy and evil. Too bad the members of the party of collusion (AKA Republicans) are not pointing this out.

Actually, it’s right up there with historic great power behavior.

Yes. As a general principle, I am a great believer in free trade, but when one country, under the thumb of an oppressive central government, becomes dominant in multiple products upon which our economy, and our defense, are dependent, it’s time to rethink your principles.

And while they are up there, change the locks to the ISS and throw all of Russia’s stuff to the curb.
