Its not really a laugh. Relations with Russia have gone so far downhill that NASA has pulled out of all collaborative space programs except the International Space Station.

And considering that the Russian functionality on the ISS is also the backbone of its power grid and computing infrastructure, if Russia decided to leave the ISS we'd have a half a station with no controls, power, or crew, and no way to get a crew up to it to put it back in order by attaching replacement modules.
