If embarrassment is preventing peach, ending it will be less embarrassing than continually getting whooped on the battlefield.

Always stay hopeful, but the culture doesn't support strong ties with the west. I get it too, the US if they could would do what they do, pillage.
Ideal would be the introduction of reforms to a social state like Sweden. It has the resource wealth. Not sure if that is even possible however. Seems to get derailed by cronyism
