Did anyone else think about this??

The Russians postponed for one day sending up their rocket to the ISS. There were 2 Russians and 1 American on board. Our space shuttle program has been moth-balled and we now depend on the Russians to get our astronauts up to the ISS.

What if the Russians asked the American to get off the ship? And would they ever do anything like that? Why? Would they use that as a negotiating tool over the Ukraine/Crimea crisis?
