I can't agree, after all Discovery's docked at the International Space Station right now, which has been upkept and supplied by the Russian's while our shuttles were down. Our Astronaut's have had to hitch rides up with the Russians. Perhaps using the Discovery isn't a great example for your point. I think we've shown great cooperation with the Russians, (and they with us), at least in the Space agency.
But your point carries some weight when applied to the Military. I cannot disagree with what you said about that at all.
