Problem Statement

There are m2m \ge 2 blue points and n2n \ge 2 red points in three-dimensional space, and no four points are coplanar. Geoff and Nazar take turns, picking one blue point and one red point and connecting the two with a straight-line segment. Assume that Geoff starts first and the one who first makes a cycle wins. Who has the winning strategy?
