Conduct and policies aboard the International Space Station (ISS) should be separated from political relations between America and Russia. The research and life of both parties aboard the ISS should not be hindered or obstructed by political bickering, but rather, the two crews should be allowed to share available resources for the betterment of each respective party.
These men and women are there to further our knowledge of our own universe, and to help progress mankind as a whole. They have the unique opportunity to show that two nations can work together towards these goals despite different ideological beliefs. Don't allow international relations between our two countries to ruin this opportunity.
