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.”

“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.

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.
Canada
Nervously looking out the window to see what their crazy neighbor is going to do next
Canada
About to do the same thing
The crazy neighbor, with a collection of 700 guns who likes to talk about how they’re better than everyone else and nobody understands them.
Yep, this is going to be rocky.
Bro we’re gunna elect the nastiest little sycophant dweeb if people don’t get out and stop it. The neevousness you feel is anyone here left with two braincells to knock together wondering just how bad it’s gunna be now that the bar is in Hell’s basement.
(Also if Canadians don’t vote in our election I hope they fucking die and I’m done acting like I’m joking. I won’t do it, but I still have hope)
I mean there’s a 99% chance Pierre wins.
I’m already stockpiling my porn so he can’t take it away from me. Will be horrifying to see whatever digital ID spying system he comes up with. So much for being anti-overreach and pro-freedom.
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.
Yea I love that. They genuinely thought it was cheating that the government was working together to get equal representation. They would rather get a 51% majority and ignore 49% of the country and if that doesn’t show how absolutely worthless they are as people I don’t know what would.
