    We think of #Ukraine's #Tryzub as a trident

    It's an ancient #symbol, over a thousand years old, and it's not a trident

    it's an abstract representation of a diving #falcon

    If this were ancient Europe, the hawk that attacked an enemy #drone would be venerated as a manifestation of a #god, and a temple would be built and dedicated to it
