Riot Division is a Ukrainian brand founded in 2010 in Kyiv by Oleh Moroz. The brand focuses on creating functional and stylish clothing for a community of strong-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds.
I learned RIOT stands for religion, identification, outlaw and traditions.
Maybe resilience, innovation, oomph and tenacity would be better.
The other day we mentioned an op-ed by Ms. Lung, former Culture Minister of Taiwan, who opined that Team USA had betrayed Ukraine and might knife her own country in the back.
One comment on the op-ed grabbed my attention:
Yingtai Lung is back with her second New York Times hit piece since 2023, once again working overtime to undermine Taiwan’s image. Her message? Resistance is futile, surrender is wisdom, and the real villain isn’t China—it’s Taiwan’s unwillingness to roll over. She peddles the absurd claim that fear, not an authoritarian regime threatening invasion, is Taiwan’s true enemy. That’s like blaming a mugging victim for resisting. Her nostalgia for past “stability” ignores that it required pretending Taiwan wasn’t a nation and looking away as China crushed freedoms elsewhere. The moment Taiwan stopped playing along, Beijing dropped the act—so much for peaceful reconciliation. She leans on vague, unverified polls to paint Taiwan as gripped by doubt, conveniently ignoring real surveys in Taiwan showing overwhelming support for standing firm. When reality contradicts her narrative, she simply discards it. Stripped down, her argument is this: since the world is unreliable, Taiwan should preemptively surrender. But self-inflicted defeat isn’t strategy—it’s cowardice. After two New York Times op-eds pushing the same demoralization campaign, the real question is: whose interests is Lung actually serving? — Dave from Cali.
Liberation Day lived up to our low expectations. Declaring a tariff war on the world is as bad as promising to solve the Ukraine-Russia mess in 24 hours. I expect Howard will be ejected before midterm elections and BGC Partners, Inc. will file for bankruptcy.
Howard: "European Union won't take chicken from America ... they hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak." — FoxNews (Hannity, April 2, 2025)
America resembles a country that has suddenly stopped physically feeling its strength and focused all its emotional angst on imaginary weakness. Looking on the bright side, Susan Crawford.
On the Ukraine jacket, Scott says a Ukrainian delegation will visit Washington, DC next week to negotiate the rare earth minerals extraction deal with Team USA.
No one in Ukraine knows what’s in the deal and why we should sign it.
Yesterday Keith chatted up Maria for about eight minutes and said nothing new about failed efforts to get Russia to agree to a 30-day truce.
On the war jacket, the front lines in eastern Ukraine are static.
That’s probably because the terrain is very muddy.
Yesterday Russia lobbed a ballistic missile at Z’s home down Kryvyi Rih (population 600,000), killing several people and wounding others.
