You missed the part that we have had the technology and have demonstrated it repeatedly since the 1960's. So has Russia. The EU has for about 20 years or so. Recently China has demonstrated it.
It is old science and old technology. Russia and the conspiracy theorists are using it as a propaganda tool.
Finally, read the MSDS, a portion of which I copied, above. It is toxic, carcinogenic and explosive. There is over a ton up there in a shielded, pressurized tank. the calculation to make is this: Does the greater threat reside in allowing that bundle of joy to enter an uncontrolled descent or to attempt to destroy it in space?
