Well that former times had USA and NATO beyond the Adriatic Sea, this time the Adriatic Sea is an American hegemonic lake (not eastern Mediterranean though) You also see similar things happening now, ... In Asia and Africa. Smaller countries do try to leave their Hegemon and realign themselves to the challenger.

> this time the Adriatic Sea is an American hegemonic lake Yeah, good point, even though I hadn't realised it. And to share some more about my recent new knowledge on Russia and on the Soviet system, and also related to Albania, I was a little surprised to learn that one of the reasons used to de-throne Khrushchev in the autumn of 1964 was the Albanian–Soviet split [1] that he, supposedly, had helped create. I say I was surprised because I didn't think the highest echelons of power in Moscow cared that much about a country from their hegemonic "periphery", so to speak, one that wasn't directly geographically confronting the West, like Czechoslovakia or the GDR. To be honest I don't see almost anyone attacking the US President for "losing" a current peripheral ally that is part of their hegemonic area.
