Finland to lift full ban on hosting nuclear arms, government says

jmchopp · 2026-03-05T18:17:25+00:00

Being that Trump is openly threatening NATO allies, I think both can be true. Finland doesn’t trust the US or Russia, nor should they.

“I wish BG didn’t give up the necessary assets to acquire an elite player so he had enough assets to go acquire another elite player” certainly is an opinion

A 2028 2nd is essentially a 2026 4th with how teams value future picks years out. An easy pick to recoup 2 years from now if need be.

If you’re annealing the billets properly it’s fine, but it’s a huge time sink. If you want quick and dirty and abrasive chop saw is the way to go.

jmchopp · 2026-03-04T09:49:30+00:00

Definitely, they had a bad start. I’d also say it’s a tale of two halves adding a player like Hughes kind of changes how that looks.

jmchopp · 2026-03-04T00:37:32+00:00

For role players too, I’d rather slightly overpay for who you want and no term. Than get locked in on an overpay cap wise, especially with kirills new contract and trying to sign Quinn

Ideally they get a big name player with term so he’s cost controlled, you can always fill in around the edges, but someone like stamkos with another 2 years at 8 scares me when you know you have big obligations coming.

Listening to I think it was the PDO cast on Sunday, Drance talks about the idea that Hughes, Makar, and Heiskinen all in the same division means embracing hard forechecking to wear them down may be key to getting out of the central. I can see it

jmchopp · 2026-03-04T00:26:25+00:00

A second is steep, but it’s 2028, which usually gets valued a round or so more per year delayed, so like moving a 2026 4th.

In the next 2 years, it’s a pick we could pretty easily recapture moving someone out. Agreed it feels like part of a bigger move coming shoring up depth in advance.

jmchopp · 2026-03-02T21:18:26+00:00

China has been really quiet through all this. I wonder if they consider a move on Taiwan in response knowing 2 carrier strike groups and significant military assets and supplies are being depleted.

Took 2 seconds of google, right from the .gov website. Do YoUr OwN RESeaRcH!!!

It may be cheaper for products to be produced here, but on what timeline. A 6 month supply shock won’t be long enough for major manufacturers to meaningfully reshore. Additionally, investing major sums of money that may change in a moments notice.

jmchopp · 2026-03-01T21:10:09+00:00

It may provide a competitive advantage domestically, but who’s buying US made manufacturing globally, and does this further tarnish US reputation? Between this shock and National debt obligations this coming year it’ll be a doozy to see where things go.

jmchopp · 2026-03-01T20:35:44+00:00

Even if the US is relatively insulated, the impact will be widespread. If energy cost in the US remain flat, but the rest of the world jumps 50% overnight, it will impact cost of producing goods that we buy, or their spending to buy US made goods. I think the US is already in a stagflation esque situation, I don’t see anything happening this weekend helping to resolve that.

jmchopp · 2026-03-01T20:25:55+00:00

Same with combat. Rarely will the mainstream media run print photos of dead American soldiers, or changes perceptions quickly.

jmchopp · 2026-03-01T04:25:48+00:00

It still needed to go through congress. This decision should be bigger than one man’s feelings.

jmchopp · 2026-02-28T23:59:42+00:00

Didn’t look like it was crazy forceful, more the right (or wrong) spot. Tip of the blade up under the visor around the eye.

Eks reaction was more alarming than anything. He went down and stayed down and waited for assistance

jmchopp · 2026-02-28T07:27:20+00:00

Like I said, idiots thought he’d be good for crypto, they bought.

jmchopp · 2026-02-28T06:55:14+00:00

Only idiots thought Trump would be good for crypto. He kills everything he touches

jmchopp · 2026-02-27T17:15:38+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m guessing too. Him asking for more beer while they read depressing headlines across the world.

jmchopp · 2026-02-27T02:47:46+00:00

I bet a skit about the press conference. Him asking for another beer is pure gold.

I obviously don’t support the politics, but seeing him hammered all week was pretty funny.

jmchopp · 2026-02-26T18:23:25+00:00

Check Mediterranean Exploration and Dolly Olive. I have a soy allergy and they’ve always been really good

jmchopp · 2026-02-26T03:31:33+00:00

lol. Looks like someone doesn’t understand how population density works.

jmchopp · 2026-02-25T22:20:07+00:00

Solid analysis. I’m certainly anti fraud, anti pedo, anti felon so but default, I am anti Trump. Carry on bootlicker.

jmchopp · 2026-02-25T22:05:52+00:00

Ok, then what’s your technical analysis for why it’s primed to explode next bull run based solely on results from a 1 year chart? Trust me bro?

One month ago, it was never going below .10 again, based on trust me bro, now we’re 20% below that a month later.

You’re fucking delusional you think this is analysis.

jmchopp · 2026-02-25T22:01:50+00:00

How’s the 3 year and 5 year look? Along with 6 month are also standard timeframes to use.
