Putin is a smart guy, but he isn't abnormally intelligent. Middle management in Intel, a bitch for the Saint Petersburg mob, and a crony for Yeltsin. Dude could maybe make it to Brown in a strict meritocracy, but would be laughed out of Harvard admissions.

You overestimate the correlation between intelligence and Ivy League admissions

That is why I said in a strict meritocracy. If they represented IQ and competence instead of connections. I would put Putin at Brown.

Okay, I'll tryhard. Putin's academic background- Saint Petersburg State University (Law Degree, 1975), Saint Petersburg Mining University (Candidate of Economic Sciences, 1997).
Both degrees from elite institutions reflect high academic rigor and prestige, especially in a system where top universities admitted only the most capable students. Statistically, graduates from such institutions often have IQs around 120-140. Putin's law degree and PhD (despite plagiarism claims) indicate strong verbal and logical reasoning.
Analyses of Putin's public addresses (e.g., Munich Security Conference 2007, Valdai speeches) show sophisticated geopolitical arguments, multilingual fluency (fluent German, basic English), and strategic foresight. Linguistic studies (e.g., vocabulary depth, syntactic complexity) align with IQ estimates of 125-135. His books, like First Person (2000), demonstrate coherent narrative structure and economic insight.
Rising from KGB officer (requiring high intelligence screenings) to Russia's longest-serving leader post-Stalin suggests superior strategic thinking. He navigated economic crises (e.g., 1998 ruble crash recovery), built alliances (e.g., with China), and maintained power amid sanctions—feats implying strong pattern recognition and adaptability, cognitive hallmarks of high IQ.
I would estimate Putin between 125-135, and I am personally leaning towards 130, maybe 128 of we lowball him.

Trump, on the hand, Graduated from Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania) in 1968 with a BS in Economics but his father, Fred, was a powerful man with powerful connections.
Trump's writing and speeches indicate 6-8th grade level of literacy and fluency. However, he is a high-achieving man, able to navigate all sorts of negotiations and power struggles in the real estate market in NYC.
He's also quick witted and seeming sharp, especially in his earlier years.
I would estimate Trump between 110-120 but I am leaning towards 114.

His retarded 3 day operation makes Hitlers march into Kyiv look comparatively intelligent.

They are bleeding money and men at a rate not seen since World War 2. It is so absolutely retarded and ego driven.

I believe that Putin will tell Trump to go fuck himself. He will continue to lose unprecedented amounts of money and men for the next year, and then he will either launch nukes or kill himself.

He will go down in history as the retard that destroyed Russia.
