    Wanting Russia to win is a calculation people have made based on the effect it would have on the international communist position if Russia were to lose.

    A loss in more concrete terms would mean Ukraine achieving their goals, which are the destruction of the Russian state and turning it over to western imperialists.

    The outcome of this would be catastrophic for the global communist position as it would result in dozens of nato bases on China's northern border and likely cripple China's plans for toppling US hegemony. China would be isolated and drained until it is defeated.

    This calculation results in communists wanting peace asap or a victory. Given that peace is not even on the table many push for victory instead.

    This doesn't mean anyone thinks they're actually good or not. It's a pretty simple outcome you come to if you zoom out and look at things from a geo-strategic viewpoint.
