Hopefully they are treating the yam in Davos like dead man walking.
Who leaked this? Probably McGahn (perhaps with Cobb).
Why now? Well, its effect will presumably be a negative reaction to firing Mueller. Which may well mean Trump recently returned to the idea, and this is a desperate effort by McGahn to stop him again. https://t.co/a0uGeNwYFQ— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) January 26, 2018

Indeed. My only complaint is that the gold toilet story and the ‘Trump tried to fire Mueller’ story broke on the same day, which makes it difficult for them both to receive the attention they deserve.
Sucks to be you, blunder-boy. I remember a time when we were fortunate to even have phones on large aircraft in the 1980s’s - and the Internet was only available to researchers and the DOD. Quit yer whining, you choad….

What Wikipedia says on the current ISS’s lifespasn:
According to a 2009 report, Space Corporation Energia is considering methods to remove from the station some modules of the Russian Orbital Segment when the end of mission is reached and use them as a basis for a new station, called the Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex (OPSEK). The modules under consideration for removal from the current ISS include the Multipurpose Laboratory Module (Nauka), currently scheduled to be launched in mid-2018, and other Russian modules which are planned to be attached to Nauka afterwards. Those modules would be within their useful lives in 2016 or 2020. The report presents a statement from an unnamed Russian engineer that, based on the experience from Mir, a 30-year life should be possible, except for micrometeorite damage, because the Russian modules have been built with on-orbit refurbishment in mind.[297]
According to the Outer Space Treaty, the United States and Russia are legally responsible for all modules they have launched.[298] In ISS planning, NASA examined options including returning the station to Earth via shuttle missions (deemed too expensive, as the USOS is not designed for disassembly and this would require at least 27 shuttle missions[299]), natural orbital decay with random reentry similar to Skylab, boosting the station to a higher altitude (which would delay reentry) and a controlled targeted de-orbit to a remote ocean area.[300]
A controlled deorbit into a remote ocean was found to be technically feasible only with Russia’s assistance.[300] The Russian Space Agency has experience from de-orbiting the Salyut 4, 5, 6, 7 and Mir space stations; NASA’s first intentional controlled de-orbit of a satellite (the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory) occurred in 2000.[301] As of late 2010, the preferred plan is to use a slightly modified Progress spacecraft to de-orbit the ISS.[302] This plan was seen as the simplest, cheapest and with the highest margin.[302] Skylab, the only space station built and launched entirely by the US, decayed from orbit slowly over 5 years, and no attempt was made to de-orbit it using a deorbital burn. Remains of Skylab hit populated areas of Esperance, Western Australia[303] without injuries or loss of life.
The Exploration Gateway Platform, a discussion by NASA and Boeing at the end of 2011, suggested using leftover USOS hardware and ‘Zvezda 2’ [sic] as a refuelling depot and service station located at one of the Earth-Moon Lagrange points, L1 or L2. The entire USOS cannot be reused and will be discarded, but some Russian modules are planned to be reused. Nauka, the Uzlovoy Module, two science power platforms and Rassvet, launched between 2010 and 2015 and joined to the ROS, may be separated to form OPSEK.[304] Nauka will be used in the station, whose main goal is supporting manned deep space exploration. OPSEK will orbit at a higher inclination of 71 degrees, allowing observation to and from all of the Russian Federation.
In February 2015, Roscosmos announced that it would remain a part of the ISS programme until 2024.[22] Nine months earlier—in response to US sanctions against Russia over the conflict in the Crimea—Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin had stated that Russia would reject a US request to prolong the orbiting station’s use beyond 2020, and would only supply rocket engines to the US for non-military satellite launches.[305]
A proposed modification that would reuse some of the ISS American and European segments is to attach a VASIMR drive module to the vacated Node with its own onboard power source. This would allow long-term reliability testing of the concept for less cost than building a dedicated space station from scratch.[306]
On 28 March 2015, Russian sources announced that Roscosmos and NASA had agreed to collaborate on the development of a replacement for the current ISS.[25][26] Igor Komarov, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos, made the announcement with NASA administrator Charles Bolden at his side. Komarov said “Roscosmos together with NASA will work on the programme of a future orbital station”, “We agreed that the group of countries taking part in the ISS project will work on the future project of a new orbital station”, “The first step is that the ISS will operate until 2024”, and that Roscosmos and NASA “do not rule out that the station’s flight could be extended”.[307] In a statement provided to SpaceNews on 28 March, NASA spokesman David Weaver said the agency appreciated the Russian commitment to extending the ISS, but did not confirm any plans for a future space station.[28]
On 30 September 2015, Boeing’s contract with NASA as prime contractor for the ISS was extended to 30 September 2020. Part of Boeing’s services under the contract will relate to extending the station’s primary structural hardware past 2020 to the end of 2028.[308]
Regarding extending the ISS, on 15 November 2016 General Director Vladimir Solntsev of RSC Energia stated “Maybe the ISS will receive continued resources. Today we discussed the possibility of using the station until 2028,” and “Much will depend on the political moments in relations with the Americans, with the new administration. It will be discussed.”[309][310]
