It’s only an 1 C2 solution, but we’ll keep working towards a 2 B2 one, even a permanent one if we’re lucky.

The leaders of both countries must get together and work out a 3 C1 solution instead of threatening each other.

Well, it’s only a 4 B2 solution. We need to find a better one, which is 5 C2 to management and workers.
