None of them where Arab Spring had struggled were "moderate", this is ridiculous. Assad has caused death of over 600k people (by the time they stopped counting in 2019). And ISIS is a natural consequence of these secular (if you can call personality cults even that) dictatorships lasting decades.
Ok so you ignored the states I did list and focused on the tongue in cheek comment. Gotcha.
None of the places you listed (sans Egypt) were a part of Arab Spring, I wonder why.
The US supported the Arab Spring not understanding that the public mob is worse than the dictators. No country that's not China and perhaps the most powerful NATO allies can resist US military superiority.
Most of the states I listed stayed on the right side of the US and US military equipment and aid keeps them stable.
