For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?

So the U.S. made Putin's army roll its miles long line of cold-war era military equipment into Ukraine in November of '21?

It's hard to lie about things that the whole world was watching.

"Over" with Putin having gotten what he wants after killing millions of Ukrainians and still occupying their land. So no, fuck Putin and fuck anyone who supports his insane bloody quest for glory.
