Why intelligence services care about leverage, not loyalty”
Explain:

How Russian money moves — and why U.S. real estate is the perfect laundromat
Explain:
Why illicit Russian money needs Western laundering
Why U.S. real estate is uniquely vulnerable
How cash‑based transactions hide origins
Why this matters for national security

“Not anymore.”
“Not anymore.”

When institutions regain their posture, the old pressure tactics stop working.
When the guardrails stiffen, the noise gets louder — not because the strategy is evolving, but because it’s failing.
When external actors like NATO respond with clarity, it exposes how little control bluster actually has.

They want to keep the policies and avoid the consequences of keeping the policies. So instead of adaptation, you get:
scapegoating,
narrative gymnastics,
“messaging problem” hand‑wringing,
and internal finger‑pointing at Miller as if he’s the cause rather than the expression of the party’s choices.

2. Reassess those policies with actual demographic reality in mind.
3. Realign with the voters you claim you want.
4. Watch the narrative problem dissolve because the underlying problem is being addressed.

My guess for where they might be headed would be Canada based on:
1. Universal health care.
2. Education isn't being structurally dismantled.
3. Lower ambient political toxicity
4. Familiar cultural norms

The same logic applies now. We can’t predict the next outbreak or global health emergency, but we can predict what happens when the U.S. steps away from the systems designed to detect and coordinate responses to them. And this, you don’t need a crystal ball to know the outcome won’t be good.

Zooming out, this isn’t really about Lisa Cook or even the Fed.
It’s about what happens when a system finally collides with its own limits. The Fed is one of the load-bearing beams of the whole system. If you let the pres knock that beam loose, you actually destabilize its own platform to bear
