GG, I thought you were going away??

I challenge anyone on this forum to an IQ test. Happy to let you read my dissertation on Hegelian philosophy if that helps too.

First, IQ is a really bad indicator of actual intelligence, and moreover, even worse of an indicator of who has better arguments. The IQ test measures how good you are at taking the IQ test. Furthermore, it's laughable that you would cite a ******* college dissertation on philosophy as a measure of intelligence.

That being said, I am very confident that I have a higher IQ than you do.

Ok. Set up some fair parameters and let's do it.

If I win you disappear for 2 years.

Maybe he has an IQ, but a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

When are we taking these IQ tests?

GG's MO is to post something and then run when he's challenged. He won't take the test.

A POINT OF CLARIFICATION ON A SMATTERING OF IGNORANCE

Many qualified analysts say, and I agree with them that there was a clear reason Putin tried so hard to get der Trump in for a second term.
That he tried to do that is established fact to anyone not taking fox news seriously or being complicit in lies and propoganda.

Putin's goal all along was to take down the USA standing in the world and to destabilize NATO...and conversely to raise up Russia's standing and influence
and begin the rebuild of the Soviet empire.

With Trump he quickly got a USA seen as a buffoon country descending into a state of national dementia and a country without a moral compass and possibly an incipient autocracy.
He got that as soon as the vote was certified.

Trump severely did damage NATO and respect for the USA and started not just conciliatory but a obsequious approving relationship with Russia.
Patriotic Americans and rooters for the USA were shuddering about what Trump would do if he won again and did not have a future election ( Trump would have probably sought to run again by political violence if necessary) to restrain him.

If Trump won, the natural progression of what he started would to be to crack apart NATO which he openly despised and hated.
He had already showed fealty to Putin in his blackmail of Ukraine and lack of support for the fact Ukraine was a young and growing democracy. As Putin's fellow junior autocrat, he cared nothing whatsoever about Ukraine other than what he could mine in order to manufacture lies against his political opponent.

If Trump won Putin would then be totally free to invade Ukraine as soon as he was ready. it is possible that Covid stalled it but if he did it in Trump's first term especially after mid 2018 it would probably sink a second Trump term.

If Trump lost, he was still going into Ukraine against Biden but with Trump in he would have done it probably in 2021 with no opposition from Trump or a weak and fractured NATO and no unified sanctions from anyone. He might have even been able to go further and cement regimes over 3-4 years before dems got the White House if they did in 2024. By then he was in like Mike Flynn and nothing could be done to reverse what was done.

So that's it in a nutshell.

And by the way. It is so obvious.

one other point - if putin invaded at any time during the ukraine impeachment and trump acted as expected he would have almost certainly been convicted. enough republican senators would have joined to get Pence in so again Putin needed to wait for trump 2nd term.

I'm kind of surprised GG can spell IQ

Covid Update

USA death toll is now 1of 348 people.
Toll will hit 1 million some time in March.
That will be a grim milestone and when it is
that number the rate will be 1 of 330 people.

Basically the only people dying these days are the people afraid to get the vaccines because they fear it is unhealthy or it will kill them.

If only more would learn from their example of wisdom and love of animal husbandry.
