+14 BALANCED
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
No action needed; monitor only if foreign policy content shifts toward domestic executive action or sanctions affecting U.S. persons/institutions.
Why This Score
These articles cover routine foreign policy topics (Iran, Russia sanctions, Ukraine) and general tariff-policy media criticism with no institutional action, no domestic governance lever, and no democratic-process impact. Mechanism is null and scope is international/narrow, meeting all noise gate criteria.
