Eastern European politics are generally pretty indecipherable and weird. But it's not hard to predict that if you toss a bottle of water at a politician, something's going to go down.

This makes our politics look like nap time by comparison. The most exciting thing that happens in any given American Congress is that AOC speaks with a Bronx Latina accent and/or Dianne Feinstein falls asleep.

Sounds like stuff over there is already a kettle ready to boil over:

Prime Minister Albin Kurti had been speaking on efforts to defuse tensions between majority Albanians and the Serb-majority north that have escalated in recent months. The opposition party has long criticized Kurti for his handling of the deteriorating relationship that has strained relations with Western allies.

  • Sports brawls: Awesome.
  • Government brawls: Even better.

Maybe we should bring this back to the good ol' USA.
