They've learned fingerpointing from the masters of the art. (Remember a

The Russians had a habit of fingerpointing at the crew long before then.
Remember the Progress-Mir collision, and Tsibliyev becoming a scapegoat?
Blaming the crew for any type of mishap is a long-standing Russian knee-

Remember that the Russian tendency to blame Unfortunate Occurrences on
foreigners, and specifically the US, far predates your 'a few years
