(1) My original comment was satire and therefore not serious.

(2) There are only 3 crewman aboard the ISS, Soyuz TMA-11M
Crew: Richard Mastracchio, Koichi Wakata, and Mikhail Tyurin, until the arrival of Soyuz TMA-12M Crew: Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Artemyev, and Steve Swanson increases the number to six crewmen. If you were to treat the non-Russian and non-American crewmen as neutrals, the satirical balance of power shifts from 1 Russian, 1 neutral, and 1 American to 3 Russians, 1 neutral, and 1 American.

(3) Don’t be pedantic, it spoils the satire, or...

(4) Shall we illustrate the satire with images of the American Astronaut riding the wreckage of the ISS in a suicidal plunge from low Earth orbit onto a Russian ICBM complex whooping all the way down?

(5) Start a pool to see who gets the day closest to when Putin denies American astronauts access to the ISS.
