>nasa paid for seats on Soyuz for many years, and I’m sure they could go back to doing the same

No. Obviously not.

>Perhaps China would be willing to sell seats on their launches.

That would be an extreme humiliation of the US and NASA. Abandoning civil space programs entirely would be preferable.

>Maybe India will be in a position to offer human launches to the U.S. fairly soon - should be up and running by 2027, and they seem to hit their objectives most of the time.

India is nowhere close to the capabilities of the US, China or Russia.
