China says Obama win offers opportunity to mend ties
By Terril Yue Jones | Wed November 7, 2012
BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s official media said on Thursday that ties with the United States were uneven in President Barack Obama’s first term and mutual trust was "whittled down", but his re-election offered an opportunity to put the relationship back on track.
A commentary issued by state-run Xinhua news agency shortly after Obama’s election win seemed to indicate a sense of relief that continuity will be assured as Chinese leaders embark on their own transition of power…
Isn’t that reassuring? We certainly wouldn’t want to displease Communist China. They might stop robbing us blind.
Beijing is increasingly flexing its military and diplomatic muscle in the South China Sea, where it has territorial disputes with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan…
China’s relations with Japan, its historic rival in Asia, have also badly deteriorated recently because of a territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea.
While the United States officially declares neutrality, it is treaty-bound to come to the aid of Japan in case of hostilities…
Fortunately for China, they don’t have to worry about such things with Obama.
Besides, what can the US do to China with a gutted military?

Russia welcomes "predictable" Obama’s election win
By Alissa de Carbonnel | Wed November 7, 2012
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday welcomed U.S. President Barack Obama’s re-election and said he hoped it would have a positive impact on relations with the United States.
Despite Obama’s call for a "reset" in ties with Russia, relations have been strained by differences over issues ranging from missile defense to human rights and the conflict in Syria.
And never mind that Obama has caved on every single issue, from the START Treaty (which he wants to surpass with even far deeper cuts to our nuclear stockpile) to the missile shields, to Iran, and on and on…
But Moscow had been wary of Republican Mitt Romney’s campaign remark that Russia was the United States’ top geopolitical foe…
They feared Romney because Romney had their number.
"Overall the Kremlin welcomes the news of Barack Obama’s victory in the elections," Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told Interfax news agency…
[Putin's other "spokesman"] Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who was Russia’s president for much of Obama’s current term, made clear he was glad that he had defeated Romney.
"For us, he (Obama) is an understandable and predictable partner…" said Medvedev…
Obama is all to predictable. And ‘flexible.’
That Obama is endorsed by the plutocrat dictators of Communist China and the plutocrat thug dictator of Russia should tell you all you need to know about his foreign policy.
Simply put: Obama is not interested in protecting the interests of the United States against our foremost global enemies adversaries competitors. In fact, he is on their side.
