Will Edi Rama be captured like Maduro?

Albania is a NATO country; security and information are monitored by the US, according to treaty obligations. SPAK and GJKKO are invested by the US, according to treaty obligations. This means that there is no possibility that the Albanian prime minister can be arrested, kidnapped or taken hostage. If he has violated vital American interests, he is easily replaced. America supports the opposition and political change occurs.
To date, in 3 elections (2017, 2021, 2025), America has not supported the opposition. Like when Trump was president, like when Joe Biden was president. America has never supported the opposition.
On the contrary, Albania is a unique case where instead of the government being unpopular, the opposition leader is unpopular. He was not made unpopular as the opposition leader, but the opposition people went after him and made him the leader to protect him because they thought they would arrest him as an ordinary MP. And they didn't want to leave him as an ordinary MP, they wanted to have him as the opposition leader.
This politician himself, today the leader of the opposition, has admitted to Arian Çani that Mathew Palmer, an envoy during the Trump presidency, made him a non-grateful guest. To this day, even the chargé d'affaires at the American Embassy, Nancy Van Horn, refuses to meet him. She has instructions from her country not to meet him.
This is a unique case when the opposition is kept under sanctions, because the opposition itself has elected a leader, a person whom America has sanctioned, and they tell America that either you will accept Sali Berisha or not. Then, they publicly challenge America by saying "We will buy you with lek" and go and sign a 6 million dollar lobbying contract, wanting to publicly humiliate America, saying that we will change its decision with lek, we will buy it.
The Americans, through SPAK, have beaten Rama to the breaking point, to the point where he can no longer hold on. But they can't find another elite to change the government in Albania, because the so-called oppositionists rose up and said, oh Sali Berisha, oh no. And the Americans, like the Albanians, have no interest in allowing Sali Berisha to power for a third time. Therefore, the Albanians don't vote for him, the Americans don't even shake his hand.
Albania has degraded with a reactionary opposition; a reactionary opposition, that is, an opposition neither strong enough to win elections, nor weak enough to allow another opposition to emerge.
Today Donald Trump declared that he will work with Maduro's successor. He will continue with the ruling party because, hey, the other political elite is ready.
In the case of Albania, the opposition leader, Sali Berisha, does not have a political elite capable and willing to take power. Instead of creating representative political teams that are voted for by the people, he has found it more necessary to create a barracks of soldiers who obey him.
Therefore, the excitement that after Maduro, America will kidnap Edi Rama is simply food for its militants; it lies to its own people, creating a fairy tale. This is not the first time; in 2017, the entire DP went into a psychosis that Donald Trump would overthrow Edi Rama because Rama had publicly insulted him on CNN. Not only did Trump not overthrow him, but during the Trump administration, SPAK and GJKKO were created, having Edi Rama as a political partner.
When you can't win elections after turning your party into a military barracks, you fall into ridiculous and publicly humiliating positions, to the point of humiliation where you demand that another country kidnap your prime minister.
Edi Rama deserved to be overthrown in 2017. This did not happen because the Albanian opposition was hostage to a politician afraid of losing his role; it was hostage to a model overthrown by a massive vote in 2013, a model who thought he could camouflage himself under other names and throw ashes in the eyes of Albanians, Americans, and Europeans.
A country like ours should naturally change power. The opposition vocation in society exists because even in the last elections, the opposition was in the figures of 700 thousand people. There is simply no legitimate authority to gather them.
