ELI5: How can tensions between the USA and Russia be so high, yet the latter still allow the former to use their rockets for ISS missions?

Even going back to the Soviet days there has been a lot of cooperation between us the the Russians/Soviets in non-military scientific ventures. Scientists don't care about nationality, they care about peer-review and accurate data. Unless a shooting war broke out, and the governments directly halted cooperation between the two nations' scientific communities, the scientists of our nations will continue to cooperate on projects and research. They just don't care about the politics.
