A rogue government, especially one in a country that has (so far) consented to a peaceful transfer of power, is recognized to be of transitory nature, whether good or bad. In December of 2000, European newspapers started asking facetiously about Bill Clinton, "can we have him when you're done?" The world waited for the end of Cheneybush (the worst to date at the time) and breathed a sigh of relief when Obama took office. They recoiled in horror at Trump I, but breathed a sigh of relief in 2021, figuring that was the end of Trump in politics. They were wrong, but they know that the pendulum will swing back yet again. Should Putin and his Republican puppets manage to prevent that, the world of commerce might find a completely different axis on which to spin. I think contingency plans of that nature are already in motion in Europe, but they are so far just that: contingency plans.
The world looked on in horror when Franco took over Spain in 1939, but he already saw which way the wind was blowing in 1942, and de-coupled himself from the Axis and declared Spain "neutral." It remained a Catholic-Fascist dictatorship, but ever-loosening the reins of control, ever since his Axis pals started ending up deceased. He even joined NATO, to the disgust of many Spanish fascists and NATO members alike. Even Franco, the old fascist of the 1930s told his intended successor, Juan-Carlos I, "you will be able to do things I never could." He knew which way the wind was blowing, even while recognizing that he would never be able to blow in that direction. Trump is incapable of such logic, but if he should leave office before his term is up, for whatever reason, a successor might (not for sure, by any means) see beyond his own small term in office. Netanyahu stands a good chance of not being around for much longer, as well, since his coalition is wobbly at best. At some point, preferably soon, and preferably before some Iranian missile forces the point, he, too, will realize that history has passed him by, and his services are "no longer required."
