So do countries, if we're looking at a long enough time scale. There is no end in sight for the war in Ukraine and when the end comes it's likely to be messy. It might be more of a pause than a true end, and one or both sides will likely be pretty unhappy with the outcome. It could be many years before Russia and the west go back to a comfortable economic relationship.

Well, could go many ways. Depends who is going to "succeed" to Putin (which isn't getting any younger) and especially how.

Maybe the problem is the shortness of sight rather than the lack of an end?

Rest assured, if the powers that be decide that "Russia is good now" they will convince you of the same within 6 months.

My grandparents carried some anti-German sentiments 70 years after the war ended. Maybe you are able to switch your opinions that quickly, most people can't.
