    The current winner in the Middle East is Russia

    Since they are allowed to support the killing of civilians and suppression of rights they have Iran, Iraq, and Syria

    You can see how hard it is for the US to even have a foothold there with the Israel conflict. Which they are forced to support because of the above

      US has far more influence in Middle Easst then Russia. Russia didn’t win anything in Middle East. US has control of Saudi Arabia and Israel quite famously. Most other governments where once funded by the CIA as well.
