In case of Assad "winning", that doubt never existed, regarding Russia. And since it is politics and politics today know no scruples or moral standards, it could very well be that North Korea, Iran and Hezbollah sooner or later play the same role again like before.

However, I see a "Lebanonization" as the more likely outcome, with Assad-hostile factions of any kind winning over the next couple of years. Whether their rule is undisputed and free from ongoing conflict, is something different.

For Israel - they probably prefer to stay with Assad - he is the known and probably the lesser demon than a new fundamentalist regime to them.
