Very rational and diplomatic, Professor Bardi, but I find talk of “reframing” how we view the situation at this late date effete, if not downright bizarre.

Have you ever heard of the Koch brothers, sir? They couldn’t give a damn how you or anyone else “frames” the situation, they will continue to sew confusion amongst the ranks of their opponents as long as they have the means to pay for it. (Only mercenaries will work for them.)

This article makes me think of a British Tommy crouching in the trenches in WW1. In the lull before they go “over the top” to be decimated by enemy-machine-gunners, he’s suggesting to his cobbers that maybe all that’s needed is to find a way to reframe the problem for the German High Command to see the light.

Yeah, good luck with that.
