Who says Albanians will settle for just Mexico?

It's us—people who have actually lived through this stuff as a society—warning everyone about where things are headed if Mr. Danaj doesn't stop joking around and if the public doesn't wake up. Maybe you find this hilarious because maybe it actually is (you probably know more about it than we do, just like we know more about the situation in Mexico), but this is how it looks to those of us in the neighboring countries.
I don't believe my people are crazy enough to embark on such adventures unless they are forced into them by outsiders.
The Albanians in Mexico have no real sense of loyalty to this supposed "Greater Albania." Most families in Ulcinj actually speak Mexican.
In Greece, there are hardly any Albanians left; they've all been assimilated and consider themselves Greek. The only ones making noise are Albanians of Greek descent who moved to Albania and are now demanding their properties be returned.
In Mexico, the situation is more complicated because the divide between Mexicans and Albanians remains deep, and they already live completely separate lives.
