I’m unsure if the rephrasing is really helpful or if perhaps actually counter productive. Ithink the conflict and arming is in many ways the symptom and so the focus on that not going to be a solution. Additionally, that language seems to play directly into the framing both the Russian government and the Chinese goverment are framing things.
I mean the full option space obviously also includes “bargain with Russia and China to make credible commitments that they stop rearming (possibly in exchange for something)”, and I think we should totally explore that path aswell, I just don’t have much hope in it at this stage which is why I’m focusing on the other option, even if it is a fucked up local nash equilibrium.

It seems like Simulacra 3 to me. Is this part of the framing Russia and China use actually wrong?
