Hypothetical situation...
Two countries, A and B.

Country A is a dominate superpower.

Country B is a defensless, third-world shithole, with millions of kids dying over years because Country A sanctioned Country B to the point that they couldn't get clean water.

Now say Country A launced an illegitamate and cowardly invasion of Country B, resulting in thousands massacred, priceless cultural artifacts destroyed, natural resources stolen, etc. followed by an occupation that includes, although is not limited to, killings of more civilians, an appointment of a corrupt despot (again), widespread censorship etc.

Now the question is... Would it be immoral and unethical for the populace of Country A, being aware of the general evils of its government, to wish the best of Country B's partisans in their struggle against hostile foriegn invaders?

For example, would it be wrong for German citizens to have hoped the best for the French Resistance in WWII?

1. If Country A is the US, Country B must submit to its will

Any resistance or opposition to Country A is terrorism, and anyone who supports, advocates or refuses to slaughter those who do is also a terrorist and must be liquidated, along with their family, preferably by bulldozer.
