Your religion is a false one. My guess too much Limbaugh over the years.
Musk and SpaceX could do it if necessary.
And why not?
The Dementia Joe regime is trying to destroy Russia and Russians, why can't the Russians hit back?
My Thoughts,

As things approach idiocracy levels of stupidity here on Earth one is tempted to save for a ticket to Mars aboard one of Elon’s rockets :-/
They should do it, even if they don’t have to. To drive the point home to Russia that it’s space-faring days are behind it.
Biden/Harris will go down as the most inept, incompetent, and clueless administration in US History.
Well put.
As is their aeronautical industry. 60% of Russias airlines are leaded from Ireland and are being recalled with leases cancelled. To a insult further, Boeing and other commercial airline producers in on the sanctions will no longer provide spare parts. Aeroflot is now constrained to 3rd world venders and cannibalism of planes on the ground. I can see their new marketing branding, “Fly us, we might get you there”.
I believe international flights are primarily China, India, Pakistan, Africa, and South/Central America. All gardens spots.
Rescue our astronaut blow up the station and say it was a Chinese killer satellite.
Elon! Get paid in advance!
Just more bluster from Russia. This won’t happen. Not only would the cosmonauts NOT abandon their fellow explorer (very elite club), the entire World would turn their back on Russia if it occurred.
Incredible isn’t it? That people will trust where there is an obvious conflict of interest? I marvel and wonder how they can be so naive or downright stupid?
I worked with a guy like this once. Otherwise pretty smart but I guess it was high minded ideals that crippled him to believe it is possible for people to ignore their own interests and advantages while negotiating or acting. I have never figured it out. He told me that he assumes all people are honest until proven otherwise and that I do the opposite. He has a life of regrets and disappointments while I have had a life of good surprises.
My thoughts?
It is an expensive toy and it is time to put it away.
That bluster is a strange immature mind set that I don’t understand. Most mature and rational people don’t resort to things on par with an 8 year-old school yard bully.
On free trade, I take Adam Smith’s view. Scotland could produce wine domestically at great expense in greenhouses, but it was far cheaper to import wine from France. Scotland could produce grain more cheaply because of its abundance of rain, through the miracle of free trade, exchange grain with countries who did not have Scotland’s advantages. This way there were more grain and more wine for everyone. The central government in France did not control the production or price of wine, but if they tried to take advantage, Scotland could purchase wine from Spain or Italy, or simply forgo the consumption of wine.
So free trade works in principle. Where cartels gain control of vital (vital, wine is not precisely vital) industries or supplies of raw materials, to manipulate prices or exert political pressure (like to allow them to invade neighboring countries) the principle breaks down.
I am not talking about food. Food is ghetto. Manufactuing is the key to being a first world country.
Didn’t Elon boost his red Mustang into the stratosphere a few years ago and it is currently circulating the earth. The astronaut can hop a ride in Elon’s sweet wheels and return in style.
Reason #57 on why to admire Elon.
