The Dragon in question is kitted for 3. There's also an emergency evac capsule (Still a Soyuz I think EDIT: Yes, Soyuz MS-25!). But that's only another 2-3 and having US astronauts brought back by Roscosmos would be.....embarassing.
Russia will do it just to flex
Have them touch down and recovered by a Russian crew, give them a massive welcome home and "mission accomplished" parade in Moscow before returning them to the U.S.![hahaha hahaha](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/70346ef9-7f56-4bae-ac6d-4ef3a9a1ac58.png)
the USSR would definitely have done this, shame russia isnt cool anymore![sadness sadness](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3de7432c-5d0b-441d-9167-0c61cc3838ab.png)
