All countries and governments have tradeoffs. This country has much going for it in the way of natural resources, pockets of decency, etc. I try to be judicious with my mercenary attitude. It's possible to get stuff even out of ones enemies.
I could see the radical left in charge, taking over more and more public land, bringing in millions of refugees, putting them on the dole, taking bank accounts, and the elite living like the EU ... kings in charge of slaves.. for as long as the money lasted.
