Putin could be open to a pause in fighting amid Russia-Ukraine war: Report
thehill.com

Russian President Vladimir Putin may be open to a cease-fire in his war with Ukraine, so long as the country could still declare victory, a new report by the New York Times found.

Putin, still confident in his forces, said that Russia’s goals have not changed. In his annual year-end press conference last week, Putin warned that there would be no peace solution in Ukraine until Russia achieves its overarching goals, the “denazification” and demilitarization of Ukraine.

Putin’s message might be different now, as he has reportedly signaled he is ready to make a deal. Since September, Putin has signaled that he is open to a pause in fighting along the current lines, which is much shorter than his intention to dominate Ukraine, according to the Times who cited two former senior Russian officials.

According to the United Nations, more than 10,000 civilians have been killed and 18,500 have been injured since the start of the war nearly two years ago.

So your argument goes like this

  1. A total moron is a mentally handicapped person
  2. I am correct in calling you a total moron
  3. If 1 AND 2 is true, then I am insulting a mentally handicapped person

Conclusions

  1. People will not take me seriously making me irrational
  2. If premise 2 is not true, then I made a false statement

Here's where it fails, and I already warned you about this, calling someone "a total moron" is not a claim of mental handicap and hasn't been for 60+ years it is a long deprecated medical term that is exclusively used as an insult towards the mentally competent.

So premise one is actually false, everyone recognizes that premise 1 is false therefore premise 3 is also false. And neither of the conclusions you are trying to assert are correct.

"with being so much smarter than me"

Clearly.

Sorry, I'm too much of a total moron to understand any of that. But I'm sure if you tell another "joke" at my expense, people will find what you say illuminating.

They sure will.

And I'm sure you have evidence to back that up. Because you wouldn't expect a total moron like me to just accept whatever you say as true, would you?

I'll just write it in an image macro format, it's already been established that that is your primary source of information and you have yet to refute it.

You're right. I have yet to refute that I am a total moron. Why should I stop an ableist from being ableist?
