A part of Germany was part of the East (and satellite state and ally of the Sovjet Union), so they have a lot of Putin supporters, so you can argue if it is West or East.
The Azov regiment was also in the Western media and you believe that. The whole operation Z is a Nazi operation. Both sides both have Nazis connections. They try to create a end time war. If it succeeds, we will see.

There are negative forces everywhere, but as a whole democratic countries are less negative. You are not arrested for your opinion, although your opinion would make your country a slave state of Russia in the end. In the EU, the powerful countries can be outvoted by the majority. So this is preferrable.
You are just manipulated by other negative forces. Imperialism (that is what Russia is planning with Europe)is a negative concept, besides Nazism what Putin was supporting in East Germany.
