US planning to divert funding from ISS to its own Mars/Moon Program

This is an interesting article from the Russian news source Pravada.ru. This article discusses John Glenn's statement on how the United States is not getting its money worth in regards to the International Space Station. The ISS is a joint project between the US, Canada, Japan, and Russia, as well as other countries. The ISS has had its troubles, and it is behind schedule. This article asserts that the United States will divert funding from the ISS to its own Mars and Moon missions. If true, such action would further strain US-Russian relations during a time of already increased tensions.
