Happy birthday America!


Philadelphia, May 1776. Betsy Ross presents the first American flag to George Washington.


Brussels, May 1986. Anonymous eurocrats are showing the first flag of the European Community. "Copied from the flag of the Council of Europe", they say.


Berlin, May 2026. After the failure of the Lisbon Strategy (to make the EU "the world's most dynamic and competitive economy" by 2010) of 2000, the Helsinki Strategy (to "keep the EU in the top 5 of world economies" by 2020) of 2010 and the Ankara Strategy of 2020, the European Union renames itself to LUSER and adopts a new flag.

The Ankara strategy:
even though the previous 10-year strategies turned out to nothing, if only we wish hard and long enough for it, and keep on doing things which didn't deliver anything, eventually everything will become perfect in the EU !

@Joe de Kangoeroe: Once more you prove to believe in fairy tales which is typical for the left.

the Society for Australian Values in Europe ("SAUVE") is also an interesting one. These people walk on their hands.

"American values in Europe"... sounds quite ridiculous.

Willy, I really think the Israelis are quite capable of fending for themselves. I'm not talking about US financial or logistical aid. I'm talking from a purely military Poitn of view. Again and again, Arab armed forces have proven to be absolutely worth nothing when engaging IDF forces. See the four arab/israeli wars. In the air: same story. IIRC, during air engagements between Israeli and Syrian jets in the nineties, over Lebanons Bekaa valley, the rapport was something like 84 Syrian jets shot down for the loss of ONE Israeli plane.

Ankara strategy 2020: Europeanwide ban on selling vaarkisjkoteletten. Butchers who keep selling them will be publicly beheaded on the market square.

The Ankara strategy: To prevent the dissolution of the EU.

Born in 1936 I'm able to tell the most amazing tales of Flags and the people around them. Including the famous "swastica", red USSR, and a medly of belgian countryflags. I belong to them who were and are respecting our liberators. I still understand what the people of Israël is believing to have the USA as their garden-angels. Without them, the neighbours of Israël destroy that country in just one week. Hitler was trying to eliminate jewish people in four years, without succes. I do not believe USER will ever exist. Their leaders are swelling the taste of $ too much.

Second version Ankara Strategy: islamosocialism in, all the rest out ?

Ankara Strategy: Islam in, non-islam out ? As in some perverse version of "last in, first out" ?

Interessante vlag overigens. Doet me denken aan "De vrijheid van het Westen" van Boekowski. Ga dat prentje van je lenen :-)

First I though it was a quote from "citaten", then I realised it came from the man itself. Then I wondered: on what was he tripping? glue, a burning shoe-sole, coke, vodka, or just pepsi-max?

Ankara 2020:
Proudly being the only remaining zero-growth economy on Earth and to become, by 2030, the only negative-growth economy by meticulously finetuning economic production to the least possible level to sustain life for the diminuishing population.

The Ankara strategy: "keep the EU out of the top five of the world's least dynamic and competitive economies"

Have I won a prize now? ;-)

I don't really understand why a flagwaving US patriot like Lvb stays in shitty Europe. OK, he crosses the pond quite often, but still!
Please, explain yourself, Lvb!

@Peter Fleming: that's a contest for my readers, let your fantasy work and create a motto for the Ankara strategy of 2020... ;-)
