Russia hits back at US ‘barefaced cynicism and double standards’ over Ukraine:
“We will only say, yet again, that we are dealing with unacceptable arrogance and a pretense of having a monopoly on the truth.” “What about the bombing of former Yugoslavia or the invasion of Iraq over a fabricated cause?” “On the pretext of providing security to Americans who simply happened to be in conflict zones, the US invaded Lebanon in 1958 and the Dominican Republic in 1965, attacked tiny Grenada in 1983, bombed Libya in 1986, and occupied Panama three years later.” “Still, they dare to blame Russia of ‘armed aggression’ when it stands up for its compatriots – who comprise the majority of Crimea’s population – in order to prevent ultra-nationalist forces from organizing yet another bloody Maidan.”
Last but not least, Obama should play nice to Putin. Don’t forget that every aspect of the manned and unmanned US space program – including NASA, other government agencies, private aerospace company’s and crucially important US national security payloads – are highly dependent on Russian rocketry and are therefore potentially at risk.
Americans are unaware of the extent to which the US and Russi space programs are inextricably interdependent. Since the forced retirement of NASA’s space shuttle program in 2011, America completely lost its own human spaceflight capability. So now the only ticket for astronauts to space and back is by way of the Russian Soyuz capsule.
It's a long list. In none of these, however, was the US trying to partition a country or alter existing borders, or demanded autonomy to the minority in that country that might speak English with American accent.
Regarding the space program, if RF decides to withdraw itself, they are free to do so. Same applies to any area of cooperation that developed after the Cold War.
