The US for all their huge defense spending has been involved in a lot more wars than the EU.

So defense spending as prevention of war isn't really a thing either. Nor is winning them (forget Afghanistan?)

instability in the middle east was and still is the plan. As long as we keep the middle east from united under some new ottoman empire, the US is happy.

If we wanted to 'win', it would require taking over afghan which no one wanted to do.

The prospect of a union of most islamic states in the middle east is legitimately scary. In this sense, keeping the ME scattered is „winning“.
