I do not get why anyone is rooting for either side, Both Russia and Ukraine are horribly corrupt, and neither can be trusted nor supported.
Taking sides in this is like rooting for one of two neighbors who both hate you and would watch your house burn for fun, Ukraine just wants our money, and Russia is just being Russia.
Which country doesn’t want American money?
Ukraine produces stuff America consumes, and vice versa. It was corrupt but then so is Saudi Arabia and America is happy with that. Unlike Saudis and Russians though, Ukraine doesn’t attack American interests outside its borders.
