Hot damn, I'm gone for a little while because I'm busy making big money, and the broke incels on this website really degrade to unimaginably low IQ levels. I guess I was driving natural selection on this website because this is just embarrassing.

So moron, any medal or symbol that looks like an Iron Cross is a Nazi emblem, huh?

Oh crap, I guess the Navy (and many other governments around the world) have a serious problem!:

Hot damn you are stupid.

Just commit ritual suicide to regain what little honor you have.

FACT CHECK: Did Volodymyr Zelenskyy Wear A Shirt Featuring A Nazi Hate Symbol?
4:43 PM 03/18/2022 Hannah Hudnall | Fact Check Reporter

An image shared on Facebook purportedly shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wearing a shirt with a Nazi symbol on it.

Verdict: FALSE

The symbol on Zelenskyy’s shirt is the emblem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not a Nazi symbol. A spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) confirmed the symbol is not a hate symbol.

Fact Check:

A picture shared on Facebook appears to show Zelenskyy giving a virtual address in which he is wearing a green shirt with a cross symbol on it.

The Iron Cross was originally a German military medal dating back to the 19th century, according to the ADL. When the Nazis came to power in the 1930s, they co-opted the symbol by PLACING A SWASTIKA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSS.

The screengrab included in the Facebook post was captured during a Mar. 4 virtual address, in which Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, criticized the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) decision not to close the airspace over Ukraine.

The cross on his shirt is not, however, an Iron Cross. Upon closer inspection, it is clear the symbol on his shirt is the cross-shaped emblem of the Ukrainian military, as seen here on the Ukrainian government’s website.

“I checked with our hate symbols expert and they confirmed that that’s the Ukrainian coat of arms symbol,” said Jake Hyman, an ADL spokesperson, in an email to ‘Check Your Fact.’ “Not a hate symbol or iron cross.”

This is not the first time social media users have tried to link Zelenskyy to a Nazi symbol.

You two are really desperate. The cross pattée is a common symbol throughout Europe. It is even used by the Russians themselves in the Order of Saint George, their highest military order :

Try again.
