Israel

“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on social media platform X.

Iran

The livelihoods of Iranians will not be affected by the US election, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Tehran.

“The US elections are not really our business. Our policies are steady and don’t change based on individuals. We made the necessary predictions before and there will not be change in people’s livelihoods,” she said.

Hamas

Trump’s victory puts to test his earlier statements that he can stop the war in Gaza within hours, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the Reuters news agency. The Democratic party’s loss is the natural price for its leadership’s “criminal stance” towards Gaza, Abu Zuhri said, adding that “we urge Trump to learn from [US President Joe] Biden’s mistakes.”

China

“Our policy towards the US is consistent,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a news briefing.
“We will continue to view and handle China-US relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation,” she added.

Ukraine

“I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.

United Kingdom

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “Congratulations President-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead. As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.”

NATO

Secretary-General Mark Rutte: “I just congratulated Donald Trump on his election as President of the United States. His leadership will again be key to keeping our Alliance strong. I look forward to working with him again to advance peace through strength through NATO.”

European Union

“The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “So let’s work together on a strong transatlantic agenda that keeps delivering for them.”

India

Congratulating Trump on a “historic election victory”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X that “as you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.”

Russia

“Trump has one useful quality for us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and stupid hanger-on allies, on bad charity projects and on voracious international organisations,” former President Dmitry Medvedev posted on the Telegram messaging app.

    So in other words, a Trump win makes things even worse for Gaza. Where have I heard that before?? 🤔

          Nope, genocide is genocide. If you support and enable a little, you enable all of it. It doesn’t stop. Under Biden Israel and the US have expanded their genocide from just Palestinians to all nearby arabs. Trump will allow further expansion, the dem elected after Trump with expand it further, until the US is destroyed or fascism wins and the global world government resulting from it is destroyed.

            Well thank goodness we elected the leader who can’t be reasoned with instead of the one who might have been able to be reasoned with. Plus now we can get all the domestic abuse we can eat, which we’d have skipped out on entirely with Harris.

              Why do you people think you could negotiate with Harris? Biden and the Dems leadership have done nothing but override popular positions. The beloved vp of the Harris campaign, the most progressive actual dem to ever run for that position, fucking called the military on civilians instead of doing anything about police brutality in his state.

              Also if you’re willing to accept genocide on the idea you might be spared if you do, you’re a Nazi. That was the Nazi excuse. “We need to kill them so we can be spared.”

            Sadly true.

            Hopefully we can at least hold him to a minority.

            Given how allergic the conservatives seem to be (since at least Harper’s days) about working cooperatively with any other party, a minority parliament ought to be able to minimize the damage. I hope.

    Yeah, that’s not gonna go the way you think it is…
    If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up…

    The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the “unclean” have been erased.

          What? He did get re-elected, that’s the point of the post, and the comment was because he made an incredibly bold and easily falsifiable claim so we’re saying “go on then, make the peace deal you promises already”.

      This! And the fcking idiots who used their votes to throw a temper tantrum about Harris/Walz’s stance on Gaza are in a high likelihood of having violence enacted against them in the states or flat-out getting deported. Like they were always high on the target list, do they not remember Trump’s muslim ban? Again, stupid fking idiots who slit their own throats in protest so they could get the shoes of the people they’re angry at messy. What they’ve done is ineffective, beyond short-sighted, and self-harming. Guess we get to see if Israel decides to rip down Al-Aqsa, replace it with a Third Temple now. Wouldn’t put it past them.

        Don’t blame the left for the failings of the moderate right. Just like Biden before her, Harris spent the campaign appealing to theoretical disenfranchised Republicans and confidently ignoring the calls for action from the left. She even abandoned some of Bidens more left leaning campaign promises along the way (her climate policy was a clear back step). On top of that we had no primary, which however flawed, shapes the campaign in the image of the some voters and solidifies support for the candidate.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the two candidates were equivalent, but it is easy to see why people might be feeling disenfranchised and might just not vote, and elect instead to hide from it all.

        Anecdotally, I stopped engaging with election news around the dem primary, when everyone was very excited, so I could vote for Harris without thinking about the baggage that would come later. It was all just overwhelming, and I’d call myself a pretty engaged and resilient voter normally.

        All that to say, remember the humans who voted or didnt are the ones with ethics and empathy. I’m not sure you can say the same about the ones who voted for the fascist.

        Harris would have written a strongly worded letter, trump will write a supportive tweet. Both had the same policy on Gaza and Israel.

        Thats what you people fail to understand. Genocide doesn’t get better. There isn’t a lesser evil option that contains genocide.

        Biden is a genocidal fascist. Harris promised to be a genocidal fascist for the majority of her campaign. Trump is a genocidal fascist.

        You’re just angry you might also be a victim, instead of the browns you think are too stupid, too subhuman, to understand their words and actions.

      Zelenskyy will say whatever he needs to in order to try to retain as much US support as possible.

      Not likely to work, but it’s a pragmatic take. If someone is threatening to cut off your support, don’t threaten them back, otherwise it’s a done deal.

        I think they will cut some support, but not all of it. The results is that Europe has to step it up, meaning European military industrial complex needs to step up, meaning US companies will lose money… and Donnie boy is all about that scrilla.

    At least the war in Ukraine might come to an end. As for Arabs and Muslims we already got a genocide with Biden, Trump can only increase the intensity of it but who knows what the crazy maniac will do.
