I have to admit I don't know why foreigners are so happy about Biden. You have to be pretty naive to think there will be substantial changes in U.S. foreign policy. For example, Biden will still try to kill Nord Stream 2 and pressure the Germans to stop being freeloaders and contribute their fair share to NATO.

Of course Biden will be a one term President, I can not see him running for a second term.
One thing we have learned in the last couple of days is a lot of people didn't vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. So in the last two elections the one that came trough was considered the lesser of two evils. What's interesting is this: Clinton didn't make it, cause she was seen as a member of the abhorrent political establishment. Obviously Biden's middle name is establishment. So what's the difference? This is it:

And regarding Biden's foreign policy: We shall wait and see. I expect him to act, negotiate, make compromises like politicians do, not like a bulldozer on steroids. That will make him predictable. We foreigners can expect not to be treated like a bunch of idiots any longer and this will help a lot to advance for mutual benefit.
