In current events, the Soyuz capsule has been deemed unfit to return ISS personnel. They now have to wait for a spacecraft to come “rescue” them. This is because a micro meteorite has hit that Soyuz capsule. So it is not just a problem for the future, it’s here an now.

So they say, but who believes it? There has been obvious self-sabotage in the past.

Why would you self-sabotage the spaceship you are in?

Im speculating here, but maybe some cosmonauts are hoping for a ride back to not-Russia. Or just some pissed off russian workers, who knows.

At any rate, we did see sabotage on Soyuz in recent years and I dont believe for one minute it was the USA/CAD/EU/JPN crew.

That would be pretty interesting
