That’s why the West’s support for suppressive regimes is so dangerous. It’s a temporary fix, you can’t count on it forever and it might just erupt and end badly for everyone involved. It seems like a pragmatic fix but has serious downsides.

If at all possible the West should avoid to let the enemy of its enemy become its friend.

Temporary fix = 3 decades

That's an adult lifetime.

Well, thirty years is still not a really substantial amount of time.
