There are no sovereign institutions in client states except in name. And anybody who tries otherwise (like spurning the IMF), gets economic, diplomatic, and even personal blackmail. Propping a dissident far right ultra-nationalist minority to build up as "mass revolt" is then easy, classic Banana Republic style.

A 'far right' government that has a jewish president, and which large numbers of LGBT+ citizens have flocked to support militarily.

Why, are we in 1930s Germany when those things were incompatible? It's 2025, get on with the times:

Supporting Jews and Israel especially is a great way for modern far-right to get allies on its anti-immigrant and anti-muslim campaigns. The same is increasingly true for LGBT+ rights (take Geert Wilders as an example).
