This is a real life tragic example of something that should only exist in a Sasha Baron Cohen parody.
On full display, broadcast live around the world, JD and don are overtly simping for a mass murdering despot, while a man, traumatized countless times, does his level best to give his brutalized people some shred of hope.
We. Are. The. Baddies.
ETA: if you can’t see that JD and don are Russian agents, your lack of observational skills, genuine or otherwise, is no one’s fault but your own.
