You confuse Albania with your mother man. Albania is not for sale , and it doesn’t conduct false flag operations , it doesn’t have colonies and it doesn’t kill its own citizens like NY 9/11 2001. There’s a reason Albania has survived as a nation through centuries of wars and it’s still there.

Three decades after shedding communism, Albanian authorities are still trying to sell off the Soviet and Chinese-made aircraft, of which there are dozens more in another nearby air base. Individuals are also on the waiting list, including Albania-based French businessman Julien Roche, who plans to install the plane in his garden. "It's not so easy to get this kind of aircraft now, because all of them have been mainly destroyed, not stored like they are in Albania," he told AFP, from a house brimming with eccentric items. He has put his name down for one of the oldest models, a Chinese-made MiG-15 with a price tag of around 10,000 euros ($11,000), which was used by North Koreans before being gifted to Albania.
