Re: There is no nazi symbol on his shirt. He has the Trident in the center of the cross. The Trident is the Ukrainian symbol since [the year] 988. It has NOTHING to do with Nazis.

1 Rain Drop, I want to thank you for helping to keep FR honest, regarding the supposed "nazi cross" on Zelensky's t-shirt (from Melian's Reply #162 of this thread)

It doesn't have the curved cross pieces of the Nazi Iron Cross

In fact, the cross (the symbol of the Ukrainian military) on Zelensy's t-shirt is closer to the British Victoria Cross medal

And, yes, the Trident in the center is the national symbol of Ukraine.

Re Ukrainian Cross:

It’s not about the trident! It’s about the cross. Open your mind. It’s a variation on a theme. A very old theme. Don’t believe me? Go back and look at the photo of Gloria Vanderbilt with the big necklace... the one with the stag head charms... now look at the medallion near her collarbone.

What do you see?

Evil has used perversions of the cross in symbolism for a long time, as the meme showed.

People who “fact check” should make sure they understand the meme, and have decoded it correctly, before denouncing it’s meaning... sometimes they just missed the whole point.
