There is no unintended consequence. Regime change was the explicit consequence of wars in the Middle East, it was the intended consequence. It went very badly.

The intended consequence here is to demonstrate to an organized crime group that being part of the government does not mean they are safe. There is no other intention, it has worked.

So you’re backing the rapist, paedophile and fraudster again the criminal?

I have no idea who you are talking about. Politics isn't a team sport for me so I have no idea about the memes.

There are always unintended consequences... always.
