Well… it's not a Boeing, but a Bombardier CRJ-200 and quite an interesting structural failure, a complete separation of the cockpit from the cabin on takeoff. The explanation offered in the article does not seem plausible to me, more a "CYA" blame shift.

Boeing, John Deere – are these companies whose manufacturing capability might be vital in a coming World War? Might they be being destroyed to help see America defeated?

Boeing's crewed Starliner spacecraft mission to the International Space Station was initially expected to last just a few days, but it has stretched into weeks and now two months. 
The two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, have been stranded on the ISS following Starliner's helium leaks and failing thrusters in early June.

NASA and Boeing have been working to resolve Starliner's issues, but progress has been limited.

The big story here is that, after two months, Boeing has yet to publicly ask Elon Musk's SpaceX for help. Optically, this would be a major blow to Boeing's image, especially considering the series of mid-air mishaps involving its 737Max commercial jets. Additionally, it's an election year for the Biden administration, which has been on a crusade against Trump and his supporters, but also is very anti-Musk. Any rescue mission by SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft is undesirable news flow for Democrats.
However, a new report from Ars Technica, citing various sources, indicates SpaceX could be publicly called up to save the day.  
Here's more from Ars Technica:

For a long time, it seemed almost certain that the astronauts would return to Earth inside Starliner. However, there has been a lot of recent activity at NASA, Boeing, and SpaceX that suggests that Wilmore and Williams could come home aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft rather than Starliner.

One informed source said it was greater than a 50-50 chance that the crew would come back on Dragon. Another source said it was significantly more likely than not they would. To be clear, NASA has not made a final decision. This probably will not happen until at least next week. It is likely that Jim Free, NASA's associate administrator, will make the call.
