Honestly, I couldn't care less about them or any of those pro-Russian types trying to defend them in this thread.

Exactly. They essentially act as their own targets in Ukraine just to fuel the propaganda machine.🙏

Because things were so chaotic over in Ukraine, it was hard to follow properly—but what a horrific tragedy.
So, how is everyone reacting to the police?
There are photos showing the cops just casually scrolling on their phones while a massive crowd charges headlong into the conflict.

What exactly did they receive?

From what I can gather, the police behavior in the film... well, I won't get too deep into this just to end up getting roasted myself.

Douglas Rodriguez27 said:So, what on earth are we supposed to say to such a ridiculously simplistic generalization?

It isn't that Washington, D.C. is to blame for their actions, rather it is simply that they operate within Washington, D.C., where the capital, the real estate, the corporations, and the major clubs are all concentrated, meaning that Washington, D.C. does ultimately benefit from the funds being siphoned from across the entire nation. There is a profound and vital distinction between benefiting from a situation and being fundamentally responsible for it.

You seem to be forgetting who brings people like that to power and where their stronghold has always been.🙂

But hold on—if Congress is based in Washington, D.C., then Washington, D.C. is ultimately responsible for them!

Ouch...

Aha.
Does anyone have any clarity on how many jobs we are actually talking about here?

nimbleranger17 said:The city has fallen. A massive civilian evacuation is currently underway.

No, where on earth are you getting that from?

Over on the neighboring thread, one of our contacts living in Moscow reports that lines are forming outside banks and ATMs, while hysteria takes hold and people are essentially tearing each other apart.

It makes me wonder: how much longer can this chaos actually be sustained?

Gerald Chavez7 said:I don’t know you personally—and hey, I’ll give you credit for the honest apology regarding the jumping in—but my god, the level of cluelessness regarding the global situation here is something else.

New cars. It’s at an all-time low.Look, the global supply chain disruptions—which really kicked off with those first lockdowns in China—have been nothing short of epic. We’re talking massive chip shortages, missing parts, and car manufacturers struggling to hit even basic production numbers. That’s exactly why the used car market has absolutely exploded in price. You’ve got people waiting six months or more just to get a popular new model delivered, so talking about unsold inventory feels a bit out of touch with reality.

Those Ford models you mentioned have been sitting there for nearly a year, just waiting for the moment they can be diverted from the US market over to Russia.😁

It’s a valid point. I came across data suggesting that Russia has become the second largest market for Volkswagen, with roughly 90,000 vehicles sold there last year. However, it seems people are willing to absorb certain losses just to ensure they inflict even greater ones on the Russian economy. And frankly, that’s perfectly fine. These companies employ massive workforces over there; how many such corporations are we talking about? If they all face sudden layoffs tomorrow, prices for everything will skyrocket. They will very quickly move to distance themselves from Putin and his "special operation" in Ukraine.

Kyle Campbell4 said:The usual pattern. Russia is bombing every single city they try to seize. They repelled an attack on Mariupol last night. Near Kyiv, attacks on three suburbs were pushed back. That massive convoy is still stuck because they ran out of fuel.🤣
In Melitopol, which is under occupation, citizens have taken to the streets once again to protest and demand the aggressors leave. Paratroopers have been filmed near Odessa. Russia is moving on it.

Jonathan Barnes5, I don't see why anyone would call him a traitor. He is simply trying to maintain some semblance of civilian life amidst war and occupation. When the city fell, armed Russians stormed his office with a list of demands. Now, he is pleading with the citizens not to attack the military in order to avoid further bloodshed. He hasn't made any promises to the Russians, nor am I reading any pro-Russian statements from him.

The Russian Navy is positioned near Odessa as well.

Jonathan Barnes5 said:In Moscow, five children between the ages of 7 and 11 have been taken into custody.

It is just more dirty Western propaganda, leveraging children and indoctrinated parents for its own ends. When those empty-headed enforcers throw them in jail and break every bone in their bodies, they'll somehow find a way to blame Putin again. ☕

*typical forum dwellers sucking Putin's d***

They're just young Western spies recruited via TikTok.

Paul Sanders5 said:Americans love to claim Kyiv will fall in like four to six weeks, yet they simultaneously predict this war is gonna drag on for 15 to 30 years. Seriously, they’re just talking out of their asses at this point.

On the very first day of the war, they claimed Kyiv would fall in ninety-six hours... I suppose we shouldn't take everything they say as gospel, should we?

electrictrucker82 said:Regarding that situation, some banks and branches have even dealt with physical attacks and verbal threats against regular employees. These people aren't even Russian—🤷 Rasputin is just throwing the whole world into chaos. Honestly, it might be better if they just shut down before things escalate to Molotov cocktails being thrown at them.

The only thing I'm wondering about is what happens to everyone's savings?

In the United States, the government insures deposits up to $250,000 via the FDIC.

boldfox88 said:A Russian tank column stretching 40 miles, recently captured on satellite imagery, has reportedly "stalled" just north of Kyiv, according to a high-ranking U.S. defense official. There are several potential explanations for this standstill, and it’s entirely possible that multiple factors are at play simultaneously.

@danlamothe

What a stellar insight. I suppose they simply have to meet their daily posting quota on Twitter, don't they?

Charles Howard74 said:bank run

Check this out—massive lines are already forming up at ATMs in Moscow and all over the rest of Russia. This photo was taken at 5 AM. Crazy, right?

It won't be long before Americans realize this entire offensive was nothing more than a self-inflicted wound.

Kyle Campbell4 said:Nobody is forcing you—or anyone else, for that matter—to consume liters of alcohol or inject heroin. The most tragic figures are those lost souls who spend their entire lives searching, only to finally discover God once they hit rock bottom due to their own vices. That’s when the "enlightenment" happens, followed by a complete rejection of their former life—in this instance, their life as a die-hard sports fan. If he had focused on his career or his studies, he could have managed both fronts effectively. Instead, he spent his time chasing thrills and spiraled into addiction; now, he blames the fans because his life is in shambles. People like this always seek someone else to blame rather than looking inward.

It’s just an addict. If he wasn't chasing highs at the stadium, he would have been doing it at techno clubs or rock concerts. They always find some excuse to shift the blame onto those around them...

It applies to everyone who’s working, presumably from their very first paycheck. But honestly, people are just so uninformed; they don't grasp the nuances of how this works. They see an overdraft and probably feel resentful toward the bank for "giving" them that credit in the first place.

Noah Jones92 said:The Boys are essentially a stunted group that will never truly mature, all thanks to that pathetic, soft-headed urban mentality. For twenty-five years, you’ve been singing the same repetitive songs—mostly just mindless chants (and don't try to tell me "that's just our style," save the excuses for someone else). They boil down to nothing more than shouting, and frankly, they are dreadful. But perhaps the most significant issues are the lack of numbers and the sheer childishness of it all. It is almost tragic to see how the Boys have regressed to the level of some minor hooligan groups from the North America, yet here we are. Since the war, Mexicans haven't really gathered in those kinds of numbers, though there was plenty of empty posturing following events in Kriens and now after Athens. You've been ruined by a cocaine-fueled sense of false bravado. Even with futsal, when the excitement was at its peak and the arena should have been packed to the rafters, people were too busy bickering over trivialities—arguing about who gets to sit where or which jersey can be worn. Instead of riding that wave to ensure every woman in the city felt part of the BBB movement, the priority seemed to be making sure everything fell apart. And honestly, now that ten thousand fanatics are heading to Europe and shaking the foundations, will they even bother stopping in Chicago?
And one more thing, I can't quite recall—was it the Boys who sang that "all of Europe trembles" line? You know, that sort of thing where everyone acts tough? Is that childish little song still being sung?

It is quite amusing when someone lectures others on having a "soft mentality," yet the only place they find the courage to act tough is on an internet forum.🙏

Arthur Flores2 said:.

Where did that old-school North Stand energy go?...
The North Stand used to be absolute madness. Now, it’s just a hollowed-out crowd of casual spectators who don't know how to cheer with any real passion. It feels as though someone systematically purged every true fanatic from the stands...

.

Oh, give me a break.

Everything looks fine on paper, but without sheer numbers and proper education of the fan base, we aren't going to see any real change in the future. We all need to be clear about this. Having 300 people standing in the North stands—only 50 of whom are actually members of a niche club—isn't going to cut it. A strong group is one thing, but having a massive membership is an entirely different story altogether. Besides, who would choose to support a club this small when there are so many other options out there? 🙂
