This morning’s electronic version of the New York Times opened with a full page spread, complete with sophisticated visuals, entitled “Odessa is Defiant: It’s also Putin’s Ultimate Goal.” “Oh?” I thought. How do they know that is Putin’s ultimate goal? I better read this article later this morning.” But by the time I came back from the airport, it was gone. Totally gone.
The headline and perhaps the article as a whole was damaging to the Ukrainian cause. That’s why I wondered abut hacking. But never underestimate the power of sheer ineptitude.
Still, thanks, hacker or whoever: the headline puts front and center the big question What are Putin’s ultimate goals? I have a quirky answer to that which I will post in a few days. Stay tuned.
