Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced on Thursday that US Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) is establishing forward operating headquarters in the Balkan country.
The opening of a new US facility in Albania is part of an ongoing American effort to enhance its special operations capabilities as a “keystone” for stability in the region.
The headquarters will serve as a home base for country-wide military missions and allow US special operations troops more logistical flexibility and better access to regional transportation hubs.
According to SOCEUR commander Maj. Gen. David Tabor, Albania is the “best location” for a new special forces base since it allows the US military to move rapidly and train with allied forces within the Balkan region.
The headquarters will put American special forces close to countries such as Greece, Kosovo, Bosnia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, where Russian political and military influence have increased.
Although the US has not revealed the precise number of special operations troops to be stationed in Albania, it explained that service members will be deployed to the new facility on a rotational basis.
‘Responding to Emerging Threats’
Special Forces are a highly trained military unit often tasked to perform counterterrorism and reconnaissance missions. Equipped with advanced weapons and communications equipment, they are capable of infiltrating enemy lines to neutralize enemy threats.
Although SOCEUR has not specified the exact role of special operations forces in Albania, it said the unit’s overall operational objective is to rapidly respond to emerging threats and defeat aggression together with its allies.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, US special forces numbers have doubled and their budget has increased significantly.
SOCEUR has established similar headquarters in other parts of Europe, including Germany, Estonia, and Ukraine, where troops coordinate training efforts with local forces.
I went to see relatives in Serbia in the year 2004 whom lived in Ribnica which is only a few hours drive to Kosovo. One of my cousins was addicted to Heroin, he discussed with me how the Albanians backed by USA would flood Europa with Heroin from Albania. The caves in the mountains in Kosovo such as Lupc I Eperm have tons of this stuff ready to be smuggled at a moments notice.
The only emerging threats in Albania is the Americans themselves, They turn a blind eye to the Organ smuggling also, alot of money to be made from pushing misery ( heroin ) and harvesting Organs like they done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia & Palestine.
So some Israeli is walking around with a Palestinian heart/liver/kidney. Can u believe that.
Serbia is a very beautiful country, in fact Yugoslavia is a beautiful country. It’s a terrible shame that uncle Sam has driven a wedge between Croatians, Serbs, & Albanians. All for Greed.
America can’t be trusted.
If Russia did that America would call it an invasion. If Russia did that in Ukraine America would call a war summit.
America will start the war that kills a billion.
Didn’t the special forces used to require 20/20 vision? Nowadays, they demand you cut your dick and balls off.

The US has been stoking the Balkans for more friction and wars. Clearly, the Albanian elite has been paid off by CIAda.
Greece is a NATO member, Italy is very close to Albania, but maybe these countries rejected the US, as both have good relations with Russia.
One should look at this new facility as an evolment, & that Amerika has been using special forces in sovereign states, illegally for decades, just as the UK does.
We can also see this aa staging post for special operations in Ukraine. One must wonder if Iran can hit this base?
@Carl Jones. You can be sure that base can hit Iran.
@R C. LMAO. No, it’s not funny. You could also say trying to create a dick and balls where none existed before. Not only is 20/20 vision ignored; certain questions are avoided about one’s sexual orientation as well.
WHAT HAVE THE AMERICANS
ALWAYS TO MINGLE INTO
OUR EUROPEAN AFFAIRS ?
USA BRING YOUR OWN HOUSE
IN ORDER !
Carl Jones: Excellent points!

Memo to US forces to be in Albania: stay away from the mountain areas if you can. The Gheg region across from Kosovo is full of Code of Lek-ers who will blood fued you guys should you mess with them. Don’t believe me? Then read novels by Albania’s formost author, Ishmael Kadare. Especially “The Wedding.”
@Slobadan–totally agree about Albanian Mafia. Plus there is a lot of truth within the movie, “Taken,” with Liam Neeson.
I could care less about the perpetual death machine for profiteering since it’s inception, The Corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, wholly owned subsidiary of private banking elite, most overseas, (1st bank of US CORP – exactly what it says in the congressional record so fools that believe the US has anything worth value of the population of useful idiots and their trainers know exactly who and what they are and done, 65% privately owned foreign and 25 domestic owned financial institutions @ $400/script with 10% for the bank reserve). Satanic States of America is a subsidiary of the Devils own, the British Crown Corporation of Halal itself, the shining one, also renamed Lucifer in the 3rd century by Jewish Scribe Jerome. These two are the most brutal and deceitful of all false nations of the depraved that have existed in the last 1000 years with almost no year going without war for profit for the owners and the useful idiots are anyone that has ever worked for these governments and the most putrid of degenerates, their militaries.
We “Muricuns” have to be the most stupid people of all time, genocide being our agenda taking home wealth for the wealthy and condensing wealth through the manipulation of money creating excess availability and when over production is obvious, a financial tightening of the money supply and the JEW comes down an gets it all, each time their is a monetary panic of which there have been over 10 since it’s fabrication. Yet, the animals still don’t get it and the putrid of the military is going to make life on this planet along with their fellow morons in all areas of human institutions unlivable.
To the British, I hope you end up as a cinder in the next major war as that is all you are worth. Tar pits are more valuable than where these people’s next stop is.
Israel, a fabrication of liars of the most evil of any and most backward mentally, emotionally and documented throughout all their writings right in front of the eyes of fools of today, a people run out of every land from the Indus Valley, Egypt all the way through the 19th century, will have the right to live on in Venus’s sister, and the teachers of this filth and the leaders as well deserve the privilege of living with their creator, Abbadon, Azazel, Apollyon, Shaddai, Haddad, and all their other false garbage they collect over the thousands of years of perpetual lives of the sickest, most vile creatures that turned this earth into a money loving, gold & silver paradise for the idiots that love their food as they strip it bare to the bone while alive. All the secret societies should make good friends as followers of such anti-life, parasitical death cultists of every living thing and their part in creating generations that love global omnicide.
