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.
I guess it’s bait, in that I was hoping for a response, but isn’t that exactly what was said here? The downvotes make me think the rest of you agree, too. I’m not trying to be a dick.
OP said “America will disappear” and that they will “weep” over it. I said America disappearing is a good thing.
I read “weep for everyone everywhere” as more of a “newly fascist US is going to mess the rest of the world up” sort of thing, not as an “everyone loves America” sort of thing. And then you came in with accelerationism.
(Yes, yes, I know. They were already Nazis in your opinion, or whatever)
I’m not doing acceleration. You libs really gotta figure out the difference between the layers of reality. This is happening. I didn’t vote for Trump. I didn’t advocate for Trump to be elected on the grounds that it would accelerate collapse. But here we are. It’s happening. I’m not going to fucking weep for America. That doesn’t make me an accelerationist.
“Newly fascist US” is pretty ridiculous when you consider the 1939 Nazi rally at MSG in NYC, Operation Paperclip, Operation Gladio, the USA selecting former Nazi officers to lead NATO, Hitler’s explicit writings in Mein Kampf of following the American model of indigenous genocide, black slavery, and apartheid, the USA’s repeated veto of the UN resolution to condemn the worshiping of Nazis, the neverending free-speech protections of white supremacist and neonazis simultaneous with the neverending police murder and brutality of black and brown people, etc, etc, etc.
And Canada doesn’t get a pass on this either. They, too, glorify Nazis while raping and murdering indigenous people.
Weep for America… fuck right off.
Again, it was “weep for everyone everywhere”.
Because America is dying?
Yes, exactly. I guess you interpret that differently from me. Just like how saying actually Trump is good then sounds then sounds a lot like accelerationism, but apparently wasn’t meant that way.
I think maybe you’re just not a very careful reader.
No, that’s not something I’m often accused of. More likely, you’ve just run out of non-insult things to say.
the destruction of America in any form other than total global annihilation is an enormous and unequivocal positive
Trump getting elected isn’t positive, we do not like trump, however if this directly causes the complete collapse of the united states then I’m all for it
So a net positive? Like, I hear you that you don’t agree with everything he says or like him personally, but it sounds like you prefer (aka support) this outcome.
No not really, I said it’s only positive if it ends up with the complete destruction of the US, which until that happens means it’s not positive. It’s a retroactive positive, it only counts if it happens, I’m not doing rhetorical trickery or arguing in bad faith, that’s just my take on things. Genocidal racist fascist red team VS genocidal racist fascist blue team makes no functional difference in the material conditions of most people in the world, shit would be no better under kamalas reich
So I guess you don’t think it’s very likely, then?
I’m pretty pessimistic, I fear that it may be a long time yet with things getting even worse as it goes before the US collapses, regardless of who won this election. I guess I feel like the collapse of the US is too good to be true
I never said I was happy trump won, I’m just hoping for a silver lining, I think you got lost in the back and forth here
