If Carthage put their full support behind Hannibal, could he

I thought they did. And even called Hannibal sort of back some times. Because it was weakening them too much. What Hannibal did.

He basically beat all of Rome's city states and was on the verge of taking Rome but needed more units which Carthage denied.

Eventually he went back to Carthage and with his brother they tried negotiating for more troops but was denied.

This is when Scipio attacked Carthage and Hannibal lost/retreated.

At least, that's how I remember it.

Yeah but that was because rome's best legions were off in Sicily being tied up by other carthaginian forces and the armies Hannibal smashed were little more than massive hordes of armed recruits.

Heck even hasdrubal had a tougher fight than Hannibal did, and hasdrubal arguably performed much better than hannibal, all of hannibal tactics and victories were is the equivalent of stealing candy from a baby

After the implementation of the Fabian Strategy, and then using it once they fucked up royally without it, Hannibal was done.

Theoretically, even if Rome did fall, the Senate could have operated elsewhere. Hannibal would have had to conquer the whole of Italy, which Carthage probably couldn't do.
