The atmosphere in Moscow has been euphoric since Donald Trump's stunning electoral triumph Tuesday. The prevailing wisdom in the Russian capital is that Mr. Trump will bring peace with Russia for the long term, a goal that most everyone in both countries badly desires.

Violent scenarios are highly probable in the Balkans thanks to Russia's obscure means of exerting influence.

During the campaign Donald Trump talked about China and the Asia-Pacific region, often in caustic language, but he only gave little snippets of his potential policy toward the region. Greater tensions are highly likely, but not guaranteed.

If Moscow is celebrating Trump's election, it's only in the hopes of softening him up.

As US president, Donald Trump will have little option but to engage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and when he does, judiciously.

âÂÂI've got a pen and I've got a phoneâ was President Obama's favored path to a foreign-policy legacy. Oops. President-elect Donald Trump may now use his own pen and phone to erase it. But it won't bâ¦

One very important element in that legacy that he should leave in place is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated with Iran by the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain, Germany, and the European Union and implemented on Jan. 16 this year.

The legendary and controversial statesman criticizes the Obama Doctrine, talks about the main challenges for the next president, and explains how to avoid war with China.
George Friedman, Geo. Futures
In my view, the path of this massive edifice of humanity can be understood, and our task is to understand it. But it cannot be controlled, although occasionally it can be shaped. Our craft teaches us that presidents come and go quickly, but the nation is here longer. So we watch the nation, not the politicians.
Shannon Tiezzi, The Diplomat
Some of Trump's foreign policy pronouncements are music to China's ears -- others are anathema.
Masha Gessen, New York Review of Books
However well-intentioned, talk presuming Trump's good faith assumes that he is prepared to find common ground with his many opponents, respect the institutions of government, and repudiate almost everything he has stood for during the campaign. In short, it is treating him as a âÂÂnormalâ politician. There has until now been little evidence that he can be one. It might be worth considering the rules I've learned for surviving in an autocracy and salvaging your sanity and self-respect.

With the American billionaire heading to the White House, the European establishment is quaking in its boots.
Marcello Rossi, World Politics Review
On Dec. 4, Italians will head to the polls to vote on a series of changes to the country's institutional framework, specifically the Senate, the upper house of the Italian Parliament. On paper, it is a referendum on amending the constitution. But there is far more than that at stake, for Italy and the European Union.
Andrews Oppenheimer, Miami Herald
President-elect Donald Trump's election is a major blow to globalization, and will probably lead to a period of U.S. nationalist populism.Judging from what he has said publicly in recent months, Trump wants to take a step back from some of America's major trade, climate, and political commitments with the rest of the world. He probably won't be able to do it all, even if he controls both houses of Congress, but he will owe it to his base to move in that direction.
