You’ve heard the phrase “damning by faint praise.” This is damning by faint damning. They can’t just come out and say, “We’re not risking $billions and $trillions on widely varied speculation,” but how anyone could not see that is their opinion is beyond me.
Of course they are subtly riding the fence. The money is all they care about and their acquisition of it, and the power and control that comes with is primary. They are trying not to alienate either side.
