You need a modal verb in Norwegian too. Jeg vil støtte deg (will). Jeg skal støtte deg (shall). Jeg må støtte deg (must).
Jeg kommer til å støtte deg (going to). Jeg har tenkt til å støtte deg (intend to).
I don't understand why in the second part, the verb and the subject are not inverted : "Du er broren min, så støtter jeg deg."
"Så" works as a conjunction, stringing two complete sentences together. "Du er broren min. Jeg støtter deg."
Specifically, it's a coordinating conjunction like 'and', not a subordinating conjunction like 'because'

So, if the case was a subordinate clause, would this order be right?
'jeg støtter deg fordi er du broren min'
No, the subject comes first in the subordinate clause, but if the order was reversed it would be 'Fordi du er broren min, støtter jeg deg' (with inversion of the subject and verb in the main clause)

Boom! My head actually exploded. I'll try to recover its pieces.
Tusen takk!
