      I get that. What I’m wondering if there have been any further developments or changes to that. Even hints to the contrary.

      If things did escelate or spiral and there was no word as to directions or aspirations I feel like it could be a massive confusing fumble

        Speculation is pointless; all one can do is keep up via nonsensationalized channels.
