What about Poland, the Baltic States, Czechia and Slovakia, Hungary? Also devastated? I’m sure we’d do much better with our friends in Moscow calling the shots.

Calling the Revolutions of 1989 a "Western coup" seems wrong. And blindly stating it's better to be a puppet of the West than Russia is not really backed up by history and ignores the turmoil of any transition period.

Poland is currently circling the drain in toilet. The regime that gained power in 2015 did so with the help of Russia* and is covertly pro-Russian (watch their actions, not their words). It's no longer a democracy but an informational autocracy - like Venezuela, Russia, Ecuador, Peru, Malaysia, Hungary.
