He would still follow 'American interests'. Even if the superpower was today let's say China or Pakistan or another country. Would that change anything? If you look to the history of America, you see they first saw themselves as a sort of 'anti-Imperialistic' nation, while in fact they just killed the whole population of North-America. They confronted Spain for taking over the Philippines. Instead of retreating they started to occupy it themselves and hence the American 'super power' was born. I don't think it would make a difference if we would replace the word American, with Chinese, Arabic, Kurd, Turk, etc. Obama wouldn’t change anything. He would still follow ‘American interests’.

Moral factors are largely hoped to be integrated in politics, started by Obama administration to bring an end to this injustice, otherwise suffering continue arising in the whole world.
