I checked, and we do have an extradition treaty with Albania, so it's not what I figured.

Maybe just a hub airport for Türkiye Airlines.

In completely unrelated news: corruption rate of Albania raises by three percent points
limonfiesta@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 132d
Albania is already notoriously corrupt.
So Adams might fit right in, but I doubt he's going to move the needle.

That was the joke I was going for, though

Not so rare anymore

good news, gtfo, abandoned poodle of the zionists. Albania is the perfect spot for him.

What an odd choice of country.

It's cheap, and it's beautiful. With a little bit of money you could live like a king there
EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 132d
Some even say that Albania is the New York of Albania.

I'll pass, I'm not straight and religious enough to enjoy it there.

Even those that are, aren't.

Probably for the proshutë në avull.

If that is another Simpsons reverence, well done. Maybe I'm missing subtext here and "steamed ham" means something else in Albanian.

It's an
Albanyalbanian expression.Akasazh@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 132d
What does the expression mean?
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 131d
I couldn't quickly turn up anything to suggest it's used in any idiomatic expression, so presumably they just meant it's a normal Albanian term rather than any figure of speech.
Akasazh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 131d
Thanks for looking out up!

Probably the only one that would take him.

Poor Albania 😕
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 131d
the president of albania gave him the passport, so he must like him.

or UAE, SAUDIA ARABIA, qatar.

He traded a bunch of our currency for Argentina's money. If he gets out of his presidency (alive and not in jail) my money is on him heading there.
kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 19 pts · 132d
Tbh I'm surprised he didn't move to Türkiye
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 131d
why not RUZZIA, since they dont have extradition treaty.

That joke missed you, kinda like the inspectors missing the fire safety violations of the Turkish embassy

Was it the 4th Thursday in November?

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 131d

nile_istic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 131d
I did not know that. But I'm also an American, so...
halyihev@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 130d
There's also an Albany in Vermont, for what it's worth. Very small town, but it's there.
goombakid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 130d
Oregon standing by.

I remember him promoting some crypto bullshit. I guess that didn't work out as planned.
