That is a pretty big stretch, and going pretty far
in reading something into what is plain English.

"Current" and "situation" are normal and simple
words. If there is some specific context then
that could be a reference, but by itself those
words don't have any special meaning.

See here:

We're getting into ESL territory here. :)
