Depends, what sort of ships are they using if any at all? How many of them?

If the ships are tin-can metal type things and there's a fair few of them then that's REALLY bad news. It means they aren't that much more technologically advanced. It doesn't matter what they're here for it will always be bad news, even if it's just for science or diplomacy.

If they are using ships that are so advanced that we have no frame of reference for, like pure energy then it's much more likely they will be benevolent or indifferent. Either way it's more likely we benefit from the relationship.

I really can't stress enough how fucking bad it would be if they show up in physical ships just like ours but 1000 years ahead.

I never understood. The universe is fucking huge. Why would any alien species want to conquer earth when they have mostly lilekly1000s of other planets colonized. No high tech high IQ species is going to violent because it's stupid and eventually leads to self destruction. That includes even the tin can. ones.

Why do powerful countries care about tiny islands in the Pacific? Why make diplomatic peace and set up military bases there? Earth is in part of the uncontested universe, or Milky Way galaxy. Earth has been that 'tiny island in the pacific' for many thousands of years. But something happened in the universe that most of us naive humans don't know about. Maybe a hot war broke out between warring alien factions. Maybe it's a cold war, prepping for resources and allies. When humans dropped the first atomic bombs, we alerted every alien our section of the galaxy. Now they all know we are centimeters away from our very first starship, as well as being centimeters away from nuking ourselves to oblivion. Intervention will happen before nuclear disaster, at the cost of humans being treated like a premature baby placed in the incubator. We won't quite be ready for the revelation, but humanity will recover from the news and changes that contact brings.

weak countries average IQ = 80

powerful countries average IQ = 110

advance super intelligent alien race average IQ = 10,000 to 1 trillion

They're not going to behave like low IQ humans
