  • If I understand it correctly, it may be a garden path sentence. The usual construction of a garden path sentence is where a sentence, when read, the part of speech for a word is different than immediately considered.

    The old man the boats.

    Here it seems when considered a word at a time that the old man… Oh wait “man” is not the subject of the sentence, “Old” is not an adjective.

    The media won’t give you “an answer”. Is a war like a board game where everyone can see the pieces and count the score according to the rules? What is Russia objective? Idk. Are they meeting it? Sure, to some degree. At what cost? We’ll we only have a small sense of the costs.

    Is Ukraine “winning”? Well they have lost so much but not everything. Are they meeting their objectives? We’ll their state didn’t fall. That’s good.

    And you just want some OP ED at NYT to just sum it up like it’s a football game?
