Yes, they do. Unfortunately, most people I know believe in "one man history" as in one person can make all the decisions for something happening. The logical followup to this mindset is "Putin is personally to blame for everything happening in Ukraine and the war started literally because he is plainly evil"

My personal favourite lib take is that every death in the Syrian civil war was the personal responsibility of Assad. He alone caused the conflict because he was just such a bad dude, and now that he is gone everything will be good. Of course, this lib has not mentioned Syria once since Assad's removal from power, and stopped caring entirely after "bad dictator guy gone" disappeared from the head lines.

Putin is unhinged for starting a war in Ukraine for no reason

So he will invade Europe because he has no reason to do so

After nearly 4 years of open war

With an army that is suffering 2 million losses per day and is commanded by incompetent buffoons

-Actual positions held by people
