No big shots in the European Union are going to give a damn if we try to play tough and hold out over a few measly gallons of seawater.

Are you seriously suggesting that other nations in Europe don't deal with border disputes? As if having territorial disagreements somehow makes our specific situation incomprehensible to the rest of the world?

wiredseal7 said:Russia blinked first. But even with that little bluff, they managed to hike up gas prices over the last week—just another way to pad their pockets.
The threat hasn't gone away, either; they’re just moving the goalposts 😁

It probably scared off those sanction supporters who were pushing for escrow accounts to handle gas payments. If that doesn't work, then the whole thing about paying in rubles will likely actually happen.

Doesn't Russia mostly sell its gas through long-term contracts with fixed pricing?

From what I understand, they insist on those terms, so I don't see how a spike in spot market prices would actually net them any extra cash.

Jack Kelly5 said:Well, obviously.
Lately, I've been seeing some news outlets questioning why the US isn't just holding onto 500,000 tons of oil instead of shipping it off to Canada when there are actually legal ways to keep it.
Maybe it's because the refinery over in New Jersey is out of commission?
Or maybe it's just because we're being led by corrupt, incompetent politicians?
😬

Do you even have a clue what's actually going on at the refinery right now?

Nobody even recognized the kid = Mamić is playing at a whole new level.

The typical logic you see on these forums.

Drew Barnes4 said:A good chunk of the crowd is still on the fence. The bottom line is you can't be seen standing on the terrace alongside those agency hacks and traitors. Everyone’s first question is always, "But what about the agents?"

So, a significant number of people would actually consider coming back—they'd even swallow certain grievances just for the sake of the group's stability and to get back on firm footing again. But standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those people after everything that happened? That would put you on par with the Gravediggers—one of the most notorious agencies in history.

What exactly have all these people done to ensure the agents are gone?

They've been sipping beers at the local pub—the same crowd in Athens, Karlovac, or out on Kranjčevićeva street, hanging around the hired muscle.

My friends, it is far too easy to beat around the bush and criticize from the sidelines.

Everyone has grown accustomed to not showing up at Central Park, not taking to the streets, and now, apparently, not even bothering with away games. People are constantly hunting for excuses for their own inactivity, while the majority pours beer down their throats, a tiny minority is out there bleeding for the cause.

The group needed a wake-up call; this was the only way to do it.

Regarding the guy in the post above.
Think about it: when an opponent is weak, do you give them space to catch their breath, or do you turn up the pressure?

While you waste time being vague, you're losing fans and supporters.... the official statement should have been much more professionally drafted

There is nothing to hide; it is simply a continuation of the fight. We have maintained the exact same leadership and the same objectives for six years now, despite every attempt to steer the group in a different direction. Unlike some other organizations out there, we don't swap out our leadership like they change socks.

Our entire philosophy
remains the same, now and forever.

Maybe the admins could actually start doing their jobs for once.

Looking for some inspiration for your next collection?

You've got a point there; we seem to love chasing after those die-hard Chicago Bulls Fans with half the manpower.

I think it's pretty obvious that this photo you're trying to use to sell your version of the Truth was taken after the dust settled. There's no smoke in sight, just a bunch of riot police in gear. If you look at actual footage from the clash, the air is thick with smoke and you don't see nearly as many people acting like turtles.

Richard Rogers38 said:👍

But why even bother wasting your energy on him anymore? 🙂 We really ought to be focusing our attention on the board and the upcoming elections.

Especially those in the East Side. Board-out.

Hasn't that goal already been met? They are throwing incredibly heavy accusations at him.
He’s effectively gone from the club, which is exactly what the Bad Boys wanted.
To me, it's obvious that nothing substantial has actually changed yet, but now the Bad Boys need to focus on steering the club back onto the right path and proving they are the force capable of driving necessary reform.

Go stick to your own thread; don't try to lecture us.

Everyone involved is still holding their positions at Real Madrid and the USSF. For the thousandth time, de facto, nothing has shifted. We can only conclude that the primary demand has been satisfied once he is actually forced to resign or receives a ban from holding office pending the conclusion of the proceedings.

analogheron19 said:Guys, this is it. Let's get back to motivating everyone, known and unknown alike. Let’s reach out to those old faces we pass by in the city or the neighborhood—the ones whose numbers we might still have tucked away somewhere.
And who's to say we won't be celebrating a few wins as early as this Sunday? Despite everything we've been through over the years, despite the dark times.
As we head North and fill up all the stands... what matters is cheering for every goal, making sure there's wind in the players' sails from here on out. We need to be that deciding factor, the edge when things get tough down on the pitch. WE NEED TO MAKE IT OBVIOUSLY CLEAR WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES WHEN THE BBB ARE IN THE STANDS VERSUS WHEN THEY AREN'T; AND LET EVERYONE SEE THE MASSIVE SHIFT IN ATMOSPHERE WHEN THE CRIMINALS ARE GONE BECAUSE WE ARE THERE!!!

My friend, I didn't read anything in that call suggesting we're returning to every single home game. Our next home match isn't for another three weeks, and I expect the group will put out another announcement before then.

The road to fixing this club is long, and you can't just flip emotions on and off like a light switch the way you seem to think.

Let me repeat myself once more, perhaps so you finally grasp that we don't actually have any reason to celebrate yet; instead, now is when everyone needs to start putting in the work. Simply showing up when called or doing exactly what you're told just isn't enough.

It's time to work, not to Party.

What PARTY?

What PARTYING?

What exactly are we celebrating?

In reality, absolutely nothing has changed within the club. There is no cause for celebration, at least not yet. Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and maintain constant pressure on the supervisory board, the executive committee, the assembly, the two remaining officials with signing authority, Svetin and Škegro, and of course, those damn politicians.

Ask yourselves: is your absolute limit in this fight merely showing up to one game, or do you want to tell your grandkids that you were truly, genuinely active in helping return the club to the fans after Zdravko Mamić fell?

Go to the game at NED if you want, but come Monday, go paint a mural, hang a banner, send a letter, or stop an assembly member on the street and ask them if they have no shame—demand they return the club to the supporters. Stop the first politician you see and demand the same... Anyone can choose to be a Dinamo soldier if they decide to; they don't need a press release or a formal invitation to do so.

Be a Dinamo soldier yourself!

What kind of Party?

What possible Party?

What exactly are we celebrating?

The reality is that absolutely nothing within this club has changed. We have zero reason to celebrate—at least not yet. Now is the moment to roll up our sleeves and apply relentless pressure on the board, the executive committee, the assembly, those two remaining officials with signing authority, Svetin and Škegro, and of course, those damned politicians.

Ask yourselves: is your absolute limit in this fight just showing up for one game, or do you want to be able to tell your grandkids that you were actually, truly active in returning this club to its fans after Zdravko Mamić fell?

Go to the match on NED, sure, but by Monday, I want to see you making a statement, hanging a banner, sending a letter, or stopping an assembly member on the street to ask them if they even have a shred of shame left—demanding they give the club back to the people. Stop the first politician you see and demand they return the club to the supporters... Anyone among you can be a Dynamo soldier if you decide to be; you don't need some official press release or a formal invitation to take a stand.

Be a Dynamo soldier!

Everything regarding the procession remains unchanged. We’ll all head in and out together as one group.

gentlebison72 said:I honestly feel like a hand-picked group of representatives should take all that evidence regarding the criminal activity within the Indianapolis Colts directly to the FBI. They might even want to bring along a small security detail just to make the whole thing look more impactful. With all the journalists swarming right now, they could hand everything over publicly and hold an immediate press conference detailing the contents of the files and specific instances of legal retaliation. We need to capitalize on this media spotlight and force our way into the foreground. It's the only way to pressure the FBI into not letting Mamić off the hook, ensuring this doesn't turn into just another cheap pre-election stunt designed to help the Democratic Party cling to power while everything at the Indianapolis Colts remains status quo.

Brandon Anderson34 said:👍👍👍👍

My dear gentlemen, have you all been living under a rock? Are you seriously unaware that the Group reported Zdravko and the rest to the FBI back in 2011 regarding the stadium "renovations"?

Are you also oblivious to the reports filed by ZSD to various institutions?

Or do you truly believe, in some moment of pure madness, that the fans are sitting on some secret stash of incriminating evidence against the Indianapolis Colts that they've just decided to keep to themselves?

I’m just pointing out one rather glaringly obvious fact here: it’s a much bigger embarrassment to fold when you actually have the numbers on your side than when you're facing overwhelming odds. To suggest there's any equivalence between the two is frankly delusional.

Where exactly are you seeing a retreat here?
Are you perhaps hung up on my mention of that massive confrontation where the numbers were practically even?

George Lewis27 said:Back in the old days, maybe around 2008, there was this field out near Boise. A bunch of groups agreed to a massive 20-on-20 brawl, and let me tell you, people were getting knocked down twice over. The unspoken rule was to never bring it up again, but since it’s been nearly seven years, I figured it was finally time to mention it.

Are you seriously trying to compare a full-scale gang brawl to some open field where, according to your logic, a playground was supposedly built?

Was there ever actually more than 20 people involved?

An ad hominem attack right out of the gate. Typical.

Which meeting are you even referring to?

In my view, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect a landslide victory whenever you have a two-to-one advantage in sheer numbers. If someone looks at a result like that and thinks a 1:1 ratio is somehow a win, it says more about their own lack of ambition than anything else.

In almost every single matchup, the momentum stayed firmly on our side, and frankly, the results have been nothing short of excellent for us.
The only instance where the turnout was even remotely close was that one encounter where we ended up playing defense just to stay out of sight 🐔

Gary Evans90 said:It’s entirely feasible to design an email newsletter subscription system—essentially, you set up a mailing list where users opt-in, and then, whenever there's actually something worth saying, you trigger a generated message that goes out to everyone on that list simultaneously.

Jesse Campbell said:Momak, you asked why nobody bothered to send out those emails to the new members—you know, the ones regarding that chemical plant situation. Look, have you ever actually sat there and manually typed out 1,500 email addresses? Because if you haven't, maybe it’s high time you stepped up and offered to handle it yourself.

The only logical conclusion I can draw from all this is that neither one of you actually belongs to this club, because I just received the official newsletter myself.
