Don the Communist is enthralled by dictators, like Putin, and yearns to be one. To him ending Russia's incursion into Ukraine is just another real estate deal, which can be settled by trading land for freedom.
Don has no sense of history. He is a self-centered little man with a very fragile ego who believes that freedom of speech is a one way street. Kiss his ring and he's yours. I wish he wasn't ours. I know he's not mine.
