There is no good guy in this fight. Both sides are corrupt.
The US is vastly corrupt. Probably the most corrupt country on Earth, in absolute terms.
Would you like it when some country, citing that as an excuse, decides to bombard you?
Ukraine is less corrupt than Russia under Putin or America under Biden. But that is not why they are the good guy. Russia broke the peace and invaded in 2014 and the all-out invasion in February. Ukraine is fighting with the Spirit of ‘76. Death to the invaders! Glory to Ukraine !!!
