In Tirana, many people have the financial means to buy Trump perfume, the Victory 45-47 line. Even enough to fill dozens of bathtubs in dozens of brutally luxurious apartments and villas, both inside and outside the country. But this presidential perfume has not yet arrived in Tirana.
In Washington, a bottle of perfume with the name Trump, the Victory 45-47 line, costs about $250. Two bottles at the same time cost $200. The triumphant return of Americans to Syria has symbolically “cost” the same amount. An atypical politician like President Trump, the man who is rewriting the new world architecture differently in less than a year of presidency, did what his two Democratic predecessors, the philosopher Obama and the sage Biden, could not do before. Not even he himself in his first presidency.
In "exchange" for two bottles of perfume for his Syrian counterpart, for whom until yesterday there was a bounty of several million dollars on his head as a terrorist, he brought the US back to Syria. He brought it back politically, economically and militarily. Of course, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes. As a rule, it is better to demonstrate than to use force.
In Tirana, many people have the financial means to buy Trump perfume, the Victory 45-47 line. Even to fill dozens of bathtubs in dozens of brutally luxurious apartments and villas, both inside and outside the country. But this presidential perfume has not yet arrived in Tirana. In Tirana, the heavy stench of fear is felt. Fear built on the assumption of what is pushing SPAK to reach previously unimaginable realms. Where a few of Tirana's strongmen had created a bubble of mutual peace: Don't push me, I won't push you!
Sali Berisha and Belinda Balluku, separately and together, are the two biggest and most important bets that SPAK has made under suspicion of their guilt. The fundamental questions that have disturbed the lazy sleep of Albanian politics are precisely related to this multiple dilemma:
Are Americans really the inspirations of SPAK's will?
Does the American guarantee stand behind the prosecutors and encourage them to act?
Have local politics, big business, the media, and organized crime exhausted their means to influence and limit SPAK, or have other factors come into play?
Is this a normal development of the "struggle" between powers, their checks and balances, or is there an American (perhaps even British) plan behind everything to destroy an entire political class in Albania and dismantle brutal Albanian crime?
These are just a series of questions that easily lend themselves to conspiracy theories. But the presence of an FBI cell in SPAK, the activation of the DEA in Albania, the extraordinary presence of non-diplomatic British people in the country and beyond, the declaration of drug cartels as terrorist organizations by the US, the increasingly visible role of Albanian organized crime in international drug trafficking and its transformation into a figure in the international media, are some other real reasons that fuel these same theories.
Americans have no love. Americans have no eternal friendships and are not guided by emotions. They are pragmatic and logical. They serve their own interests at all times. And under the leadership of the businessman politician, the man who promised to “Make America Great Again,” this is more clear than ever!
In Tirana, an impressive number of Albanian politicians wear the same gray T-shirt as the bandits. With the same inscription on the chest: I am a fool! Both sides demonstrate their stolen wealth in a childish, naive and vain way. They pose in their villas, towers and resorts. They rejoice in their bank accounts and their crazy and arrogant lifestyle. They produce mushroom companies every time that multiply and launder money.
“If you can’t hide, don’t steal!”, the old proverb of thieves, has taught nothing to this upper and often stupid category in Tirana. Who have also been sharing the same fortune-telling tables in Tirana, Durrës and Kavajë, in Prishtina, in Skopje at the Old Bazaar and in Sarajevo, in Sofia and of course in the center of the former old empire, in the fantastic Istanbul on both sides of the Bosphorus. From where they get the same answer: Bad times have come and the worst is yet to come
