I wouldn't say "immune" ... a number of right wing western politicians are working hard to remove accountablility for their crimes (BoJo and Trump spring to mind). They clearly are pushing hard to get us into the same mess in which many eastern countries like Russia, Turkey, North Korea, Sri Lanka and e.g. the Philipines (to name just a small number of kleptocracies) are already drowning. Powerful crooks running their countries without any checks and balances. There are a lot of idiots in the Western world supporting these criminals to get us into the same mess.
