So what is all this celebration in Shqup's yard?
There is a sense of excitement and joy over Maduro's capture, more in Albania than in Caracas. Presence on social media, statuses, statements, press conferences, where the minutes are counted down for Rama and the hour of taking out the spoon from the belt that has been rusting from generation to generation for 13 years from disuse.
In fact, at least Berisha is clear that what happened in Caracas has nothing to do with Tirana. More than anyone, Marco Rubio expressed it immediately after Trump's statement. Rubio, who had had phone calls with Maduro's deputy, had agreed that the government should continue. The Americans cannot repeat the mistakes they made in Iraq or Libya by completely eliminating the administration and finding themselves faced with chaos. Just as Albania had an experience with the famous article 24/1, which brought the state to its knees on the darkest day of its existence.
Of course there will be retouching, such as with the Minister of the Interior or the Minister of Defense, but no one in Washington is a fan of human rights and democracy anymore, especially in a vast country with borders filtered by narcos from neighboring countries. You need a friendly and economically efficient country as soon as possible. Who does this, color does not matter.
Moreover, American engagement abroad is neither part of Trump's promises nor the MAGA agenda. His voters are completely indifferent to foreign policy successes, and this has no value for Trump in the next elections. Venezuela was a hotbed for Republican hawks and the apparatus.
Does he have time to deal with Tirana, which is governed by a guy that Trump likes because he is authoritarian, controls the country and is understanding of American demands? The possibilities are zero. Rubio's State Department itself has not shown any love for Rama, but neither has it shown hostility. It is simply a cold relationship of interests. Relationships that they already have with historical allies like France or Germany.
So what is all this celebration in Shqup's yard? Nothing more than the next dose of anesthesia. There are still three and a half years of opposition ahead. The electorate is so desperate that it is ready to believe any delirious person who snatches the flag. And in these conditions, Berisha needs a boost for his people and the comparison of Rama with Maduro excites the crowds in the yard. It will not be surprising that we also hear tales of how Rama will be arrested and the Americans establish relations with Belinda. He is the same one who once said that supersonic planes with drugs are unloaded in Gjadra from Colombia and the pursuers swallowed it. Only now he has little left, so little that Tiku, Salianji and Shehaj have started and it seems more normal to them.
Je burr i zgjuar, Dritan! E tregove veten kur u dorëhoqe si zv/ministër i mbrojtjes. Lëre Ramziun dhe Berishën në pleqninë e tij politike. "Në këtë botë, ndodhin mrekullitë". Tramp është i pa parashikushëm. Më shumë gjasa ka që Edi të jetë hajvan, i korruptuar dhe pervers.
