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.

              it’s not as insulting to call you illiterate as it is for you to claim a communist is pro-trump. i’m just responding in kind.

              it’s not, and plainly so, but you are just going to label anything other than uncritical support for blue team “pro-trump”. i’m sorry your team decided supporting genocide mattered more than winning votes.

          An unimpeded conservative government will roll back human rights that took us decades to earn.

          Trump elected supreme court officials necessary to defeat roe v wade. He put the people in power capable of rolling those rights back.

          Women’s rights is just the beginning. Every member of American society will have their basic human rights threatened during this term.

          Why on God’s green fucking earth would you think that only the rhetoric is different? Please answer this question and do not skip it.

            An unimpeded conservative government will roll back human rights that took us decades to earn.

            Sounds like a fundamentally broken and unfixable system if the work of literal generations for things that are internationally recognized as correct can be undone in a couple of years.

            Trump elected supreme court officials necessary to defeat roe v wade

            The Ds had multiple opportunities to address this. They punted on all of them, from making nominations to rejecting nominations to expanding the court. They chose exactly none of these options over the last 12 years.

            He put the people in power capable of rolling those rights back.

            No he didn’t. Congress did.

            Women’s rights is just the beginning. Every member of American society will have their basic human rights threatened during this term.

            They all have been already. Did you forget McCarthyism? How about the black felon rate? The black incarceration rate? The national incarceration rate? Slave labor? (California voted overwhelmingly to maintain prison slave labor) How about disparate health outcomes for non-whites? Educational outcomes? Wealth outcomes? Homelessness?

            Every member of American society has had their basic human rights threatened for the last 200 years except for that still quite small group of white people.

            Why on God’s green fucking earth would you think that only the rhetoric is different? Please answer this question and do not skip it.

            Because the Kamala literally said the only difference between her and Biden would be that she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet? Because Pelosi said we want a strong Republican party? Because the Ds have done literally nothing to stop this so-called “threat to democracy”? Because under Biden solitary confinement of migrants, including infants and toddlers, increased? Because Kamala told migrants “Don’t come”? Because military surplus being transferred to domestic police continued unabated under Biden? Because the foreign policy continues to be destruction and devastation and nuclear brinksmanship regardless of party in charge? Because there are no solutions to the economic crises that protect the ideology of privatization? Because the Ds have had multiple opportunities in the last 40 years to codify Roe into law and chose not to so they could continue campaigning on the issue? Because the Ds will tell you to your face that the Rs are rabid fascist authoritarians and then still go to lunch with them, high five them on the legislative floor, and have dance parties? Because the Ds and Rs come together on the regular to feed the war machine and the money machine, even to the point of bypassing the filibuster temporarily during the exact same session where the Ds said they can do nothing about the filibuster?

            Because all of the fucking evidence is that literally the only difference is the lens you’re looking through and where and how the harm falls and how it sounds when it falls?

      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.

      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.

          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.

    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.
