Russia was flying US Astronauts to the ISS for a decade. The USA has a history of failed launches. This article is just propaganda.
Yeah, how about you read the damn article? This is mentioned:
IOW, Russia lost a decades-long ability under the watch of Putin/his appointed cronies
Yeah, Roscosmos was a pretty normal space agency, ESA even had collaborations with them (ExoMars comes to mind). It's Putin's political decisions that have all but ended Roscosmos. I can't see them recovering from this, at least not in the near future.
Didn't they just stop launching stuff into space altogether?
