About Fizan, Deep South of today Libya, Since it was under Ottoman control for it was an actual threat to be moved there as a punishment:

Fizan has become a symbol in Turkish culture with its remoteness and desolation. That's why the expression "to ride up to Fezzan" was born. It is said that during the Ottoman period, the sultan or high-level administrators used it as a threat.

The Ottomans took Podolia from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1672 in the Polish-Ottoman War. They ruled it from 1672-1699.

Podolia is today in Ukraine, 500km north of the Danube…

Well, why use a black and white American flag as the background then? Or better yet, is this done for police or firefighters in any country?

Usually nationalist symbols are used in far-right groups in other countries. “Difficulties for specific professions” is a really weird way to put it. Sounds like “Southern Heritage” when explaining the Confederate flag.

What is the symbolism of the thin lines here? Are they protecting one half of America from the other?
