Putin's $40 million nuclear-capable Tu-22 bomber jet crashed in Siberia today in a humiliating blow to the despot.

That might be a little over dramatic. It was a plane crash, the rest isn't terribly relevant.

“...broke apart in the sky before crashing amid fierce explosions.”

Poor maintenance, structural fatigue, sabotage, unsafe ordnance handling, hostile action, etc. Many possibilities.

Great idea, World.

Keep poking Vladimir Putin with a sharp stick and derisively laughing.

You are betting your standard of living, and your lives, that Putin will not go nuclear.

I will pass on that bet.

“Putin’s nuke bomber”

I assume that Ms. Ellie Doughty Will Stewart means that the bomber is capable of carrying nuclear bombs but cannot possibly be pushed by a nuclear engine, huh?

The Tu-22M is a swing-wing bomber, but is not the B-1ski. That is the Tu-160.

The New York Times writes that victory for Putin is now "definitely within reach."

"His [Putin's] latest peace proposal, under which Russia retains the occupied territories and Ukraine is banned from joining NATO, has been rejected by many Western leaders. However, in fact, this is the most realistic scenario for how this war will end," the newspaper writes.

That’s not to mention the grudgingly rosy picture it paints of Russia’s economic outlook:

Nor has the West managed to cut off the sources of Russia’s economic might, despite rounds of sanctions. The economy is growing healthily, and the assets of Russian oligarchs remain safe in the West, even if frozen. Most important, Russian oil is being bought and sold with minimal difficulty around the world as Western leaders can’t seem to decide what they want more: to meaningfully punish Russia or keep things as they are. Tellingly, the U.S. Treasury’s proposal to impose penalties on tankers that help Russian oil evade sanctions has stalled over the White House’s fear that higher gasoline prices won’t play well at the polls in November.

This is some British tabloid spouting British government propaganda. Don’t US fighters and bombers crash occasionally? What is the big deal? Probably an accident, but could be hostile action or sabotage.
