unintended consequence are understandable
counter-productive unintended consequences something else entirely
the trajectory as of now is that
(i) iraq, on iran's left, and below turkey, will be a failed state
(ii) afghanistan, on iran's right, below russia and above pakistan, will be a failed state
(iii) turkey, pakistan, and india will be infected, weakened, and failing
(iv) that be quite a few nuke-enabled and enabling states in that mess
(v) the new usa-enabled mercenary contractor class, connected to the failed and failing states, and with alumni spanning the globe, including the failed columbia and failing mexico, will more than likely to become a force on own, similar to goldman sachs and mckinsey & co, answerable to none except the highest bidders
will be interesting when all the demobilized chickens come home to roost, looking for rewarding actions and have no particular skills to offer except committing crimes
