Constitutional damage moderate: rule_of_law (3) for unilateral military strikes without clear legal framework, separation (2) for executive action bypassing congressional war powers oversight, violence (3) for direct military engagement. Policy_change mechanism adds 15% modifier, international scope adds 20%. B-score elevated by high media_friendliness (8) for dramatic threat exchange, outrage_bait (7) for sovereignty/military action framing, narrative_pivot (7) for drug war escalation angle. Intentionality moderate (8) given coordinated threat-action sequence. D-score: -2.77 indicates slight distraction lean. B>=25 and D<=-10 threshold not met but close; classified as B-list given B dominance and theatrical threat-trading overshadowing substantive constitutional concerns about unilateral military action.
