“SO many people I know are cheering for Russia to get destroyed.”
For Russia to be destroyed, or for Russia to be pushed out of Ukraine? There is a huge difference. I personally know no one who wishes the destruction of Russia.
Then what? If history has taught us anything. One baddie always gets replaced by another. Who benefits the most from a weakened Russia? I say, Turkey and China. Turkey would then have a free hand to fulfill Erdogan's dream of rebuilding The Ottoman Empire.
