Was the New York Times Hacked (again!) or Was It Sheer Ineptitude?

​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.
