You will be getting as much sense from that old fool as you would get from a 10 year old!!
As IQ is age related, for a white male 80 year old what age of child will have a similar absolute IQ?
Thought for 47s
In short: while the 80-year-old and the ~10-year-old both have “average” (normed) IQs of 100 for their respective age groups, their absolute/raw cognitive performance levels are comparable.
This is why direct “mental age” comparisons are rarely used today—ratio IQ (mental age ÷ chronological age × 100) was abandoned for adults precisely because abilities plateau in early adulthood and then decline, making simple child-adult equivalence inexact.
The raw-score data above provide the closest empirical mapping.
An average 80-year-old (with an age-normed IQ of 100) has raw/absolute cognitive performance roughly equivalent to that of an average 9–11-year-old child
.brainmanager.io
Modern IQ tests use deviation scoring: they are normed separately by age group so the average is always 100 (with SD ~15) for any age.
This means an 80-year-old scoring 100 performs at the average level for other 80-year-olds, but their underlying/raw cognitive abilities (e.g., fluid reasoning, processing speed) have declined from their younger-adult peak.
“Absolute IQ” here refers to those unadjusted/raw performance levels, not the age-normed score.
Data from large-scale studies (including WAIS standardization samples, Seattle Longitudinal Study, and others) provide estimated raw cognitive performance on a consistent scale (IQ-equivalent, anchored to peak young-adult levels).
Here’s the relevant excerpt for overall performance:
Ages 6–8: ~72
Ages 9–11: ~84
Ages 12–14: ~95
Ages 18–24 (peak): ~108
Ages 75–84 (~80-year-olds): ~86
Ages 85–90: ~81
An average 80-year-old’s overall raw performance (86) closely matches a 9–11-year-old’s (84).
Breakdowns show:
Fluid intelligence/processing speed (which decline sharply with age) in 75–84-year-olds aligns more closely with pre-teen levels.
Crystallized intelligence (knowledge/vocabulary) holds up better in older adults, but the overall composite still lands in the same range as ~9–11 years.
This is an aggregate estimate from lifespan cognitive trajectories—it is not an exact one-to-one match on every subtest, and individual variation exists.
The data are from general population samples; race- and sex-specific raw-score trajectories are not typically broken out in these norms, but average age-related decline patterns are broadly similar across groups (with white males showing no outlier deviation in available large studies).brainmanager.io

What is the IQ of a white 80 year old compared to say 30 year old. For fucks sake cut the crap. They are given the same tests what is the comparative score? Give the Numbers safe the crap for your mommy. The NUMBERS please!

Quick notes on the "same tests" reality
Standard IQ tests (WAIS etc.) age-norm scores so the average is always 100 for each age group.
That's why an 80-year-old can still "score 100" — they're only compared to other 80-year-olds.
But you asked for same test, same (young) norms: older adults score lower in raw terms because fluid abilities (speed, working memory, novel reasoning) decline.
The decline isn't uniform — it's steeper after 60–70, and individual variation exists (health, education, genetics matter). But on average, for the same test items/norms, the 80-year-old group performs like someone 15–25+ points lower than the 30-year-old group.
No fluff: that's the comparative numbers from the data.Here's the straight numbers on raw cognitive performance (what you'd get if a white 30-year-old and an 80-year-old took the exact same IQ test with the same young-adult norms, no age adjustments):
On standard tests like WAIS (full-scale IQ, young-adult reference norms)
Average 30-year-old (roughly ages 25-34): ~99–106 equivalent (peaks near 100–108 on raw scales).consensus.app
Average 75–84-year-old (close to 80): ~79–86 equivalent on the same scale.
consensus.app
That's a drop of roughly 15–25 points in overall score by age 80 when using the same young-adult norms.
Breakdown by type of intelligence (same test, same norms)
Fluid intelligence (novel problem-solving, reasoning, processing speed — the part that tanks with age):30-year-old: ~99–108
75+: ~72–75
Drop: 25–35+ points (biggest hit here; processing speed alone can drop 40–50+ points).consensus.app
Crystallized intelligence (vocabulary, knowledge — holds up better):
30-year-old: ~101–105
75+: ~88–93
Drop: 10–15 points (slower decline).consensus.appRaw performance data from large standardization samples shows overall cognitive scores declining from a peak of ~108 (18–24) to ~81–86 (75–84/85–90), a 22–27 point drop by the 80s.brainmanager.io

Belarus has Russian nukes
In short, Belarus does not "have" its own nukes and is not a nuclear power under the NPT. It serves as a forward host for Russian tactical nuclear assets, extending Russia's nuclear reach closer to NATO borders (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia).
This has raised tensions but has not led to any transfer of control to Minsk. The situation remains fluid and tied to the broader Russia-NATO/Ukraine conflict.
Yes, Belarus hosts Russian nuclear weapons (specifically tactical nuclear weapons, or TNWs) on its territory, as confirmed by statements from both Russian and Belarusian officials.
nti.orgKey
Facts on the Deployment
Russia retains full control over the actual warheads. Belarus controls the delivery systems (such as Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles and modified Su-25 aircraft) but does not have independent authority to arm or launch the nukes.
Russian personnel from the 12th Main Directorate handle the warheads.
jamestown.org
The deployment began in 2023 following announcements by Putin and Lukashenko.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated in December 2024 that his country was hosting "dozens" of Russian warheads, and joint exercises involving tactical nuclear weapons have continued into 2025
.apnews.com
This marks the first time since the Soviet Union's collapse that Russia has stationed nuclear warheads outside its own borders in a non-strategic (tactical) role.
Delivery Systems in BelarusBelarus has received:Iskander-M missiles (dual-capable for conventional or nuclear warheads).
Upgrades for Su-25 fighter jets to carry nuclear gravity bombs.
More recently, Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles (nuclear-capable), with deployments confirmed in late 2025 and videos showing them in Belarusian forests.
These systems can reach multiple European capitals
.atlanticcouncil.org
Russia and Belarus have also discussed integrating nuclear warheads with Belarusian Polonez missile systems.
Historical Context
After the Soviet Union's breakup, Belarus inherited nuclear weapons but transferred all of them to Russia by 1996 and joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear state. In 2022, Belarus amended its constitution to allow Russian nuclear deployments.
The current arrangement is framed by Moscow and Minsk as a response to NATO expansion and Western support for Ukraine, placing Belarus under Russia's "nuclear umbrella."nti.org
Important Caveats
Open-source intelligence (satellite imagery, official statements) confirms nuclear-capable delivery systems and infrastructure upgrades (e.g., storage sites near Asipovichy), along with Russian claims of warhead transfers.
However, exact numbers, precise locations of warheads, and real-time confirmation remain classified or unverified by independent Western intelligence in all public reporting. Some sources (e.g., Ukrainian intelligence in 2025) have questioned whether live warheads are physically present versus just delivery systems and training.en.wikipedia.orgJoint military drills (including "Zapad" exercises) have rehearsed the use of these tactical nukes.

There’s an unwritten rule in this country.
You stand by your mates.
You back your own.
And when it matters… you don’t walk away.
Because there’s nothing more un-Australian than turning your back on a mate when they need you most.
This isn’t just a shirt.

We are conducting a detailed analysis of Russia’s updated war plans. The Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has a clear understanding of what exactly the enemy is planning and which priorities have been set for the Russian army by Russia’s political leadership. We will counteract.
Unfortunately, the reduction in sanctions and political pressure from our partners on the aggressor has led to a partial increase in Russia’s military ambitions. Yet our long-range sanctions, the growing use of drones on the front line, and the active actions of our units will provide the necessary responses to the occupier. Today, I approved the list of our next operations.
The Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of the General Staff reported on the most effective units at the front – I thank them for every result. We also identified the priority supply needs on the frontline, which must be addressed immediately. I thank every soldier, sergeant, and officer for defending our state and our people. Glory to Ukraine!

The Jew will have a fee of course a measly one billion
So how much is that per citizen?
90 billion euros divided among Ukraine's population comes out to roughly €2,270 per citizen.
Here's the breakdown (using mid-2026 estimates):
Population: Approximately 39.5 million people (most consistent recent UN-based projections put Ukraine's 2026 population at around 39.54 million, accounting for war-related losses, refugees, and occupied territories).worldometers.info
Calculation:
€90,000,000,000 ÷ 39,500,000 ≈ €2,278 per person.

ZELENSKYY: Under pressure from the EU, Ukraine has already repaired the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline, which was damaged by Russian shelling of Ukrainian infrastructure. Now it’s time for the EU to keep its promises and pass the €90 billion package for Ukraine.
“I just spoke with Chancellor Merz, and earlier today with European Council President Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. It's important to unblock the European support package for Ukraine— €90 billion euros for the next 2 years. These funds were already approved by the European Council but were blocked. Now there can be no reason for blocking. The EU asked Ukraine to repair the Druzhba oil pipeline that the Russians destroyed. We repaired it. We hope the EU will also honor its commitments.” - Ukrainian President on Tuesday, April 21st, 2026.

If you subtract the Tartar suzerainty and the Polish Lithuanian territory from what the currently call "Ukraine" what is left. Cut your rabbiting on Squire. Give current area, How much is left after subtraction. TWO NUMBERS more than adequate
Thought for 2m 44s
Exact figures vary with fluid historical borders, but 100,000 km² matches the documented eastward expansion of Ukrainian ethnographic territory via Sloboda settlement
Current area of Ukraine: 603,628 km².
Area left after subtracting the historical Tartar suzerainty (Crimean Khanate/Little Tartary territories) and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth territories: ~100,000 km²
.
The subtraction leaves roughly the historical Sloboda Ukraine (Slobozhanshchyna) region in the northeast—the only significant portion of modern Ukraine that was settled and administered outside direct PLC or Crimean Khanate control (under Muscovite/Russian protection from the 17th century onward).
The rest of today's Ukraine derives from territories acquired later from those two entities

This is Ukraine in 1649, according to the European mapmakers of that time.
Not a myth. Not a “borderland.” Not “just part of Russia.”
A vast, recognized entity called "Ukrania" — long before Russia even considered itself an empire.
Meanwhile, look at "Muscovia" and "Tartaria" in the upper right.
Ukrainians are not "Russians". They're are a part of the big European family, historically.
