If we are going back to the old tried and true way of getting to the moon, then lets remember that was a American effort not a international one. Keep the construction in house.
Look at the current iss and then look back at Skylab.

Look at the current iss and then look back at Skylab. Indeed. Skylab actually accomplished something beyond the study of flea fornication in zero gee.

The United States should try to go it alone as much as the country can. Even more so when the United States is in the lead.
The international Space Station has allowed China to sort of catch up, and has allowed Russia to catch that nation's breath after the break up of the Soviet Union.
