Ignore this story and focus attention on the week's high-A events: state voter information demands, civil service protection stripping, and the SPLC superseding indictment—all of which involve direct institutional capture mechanisms.
This event scores extremely low on constitutional damage (A=1) as it involves foreign protests over business dealings with no direct US governance mechanism, institutional lever, or domestic legal consequence. It scores moderately on distraction (B=43) due to high media-friendliness and timing overlap with serious domestic events, but ultimately qualifies as noise: international spectacle with no actionable US governance impact, norm_erosion_only mechanism, and narrow affected population.
