It never pays to underestimate the bellicosity a, determination, nd psychopathy of US leadership, and their power to cause trouble.Hamas and Hezbollah haven't been defeated, but have been severely reduced, The US doesn't actually need to "win" in a conventional military sense, but they cause enough trouble, chaos, misery, poverty that any rivals are reduced and compliant, They failed in Syria a few years ago, but sanctions and determination have ultimately succeeded. Russia is now weakened to by losing its Syrian ally. The US is still trying in Georgia, and in Rumania has managed to get an election reversed. Moldova too managed to cook the electoral books by excluding Modovans living in Russia from voting. Russia has not yet won in any real terms, as Ukraine could still become a NATO member and have US missiles installed there, It may have gained a bit of security with a bigger buffer zone and a land bridge to the Crimea. but it'll have come at huge cost to its economy and people. Not enough I believe to upset Russia and cause Putin to worry about his position, but the US is going to continue ever harder as its own country is failing and flailing. US hegemony is under serious threat, but don't assume it's going to go quietly and don't assume that ultimately it might not succeed, for another few years at any rate.
The State of Israel has been a highly successful plan to continue domination of the Middle East, and it continues so to be.
