Tbf the US was doing just fine in Afghanistan until Bush literally let Bin Laden just walk away because he wanted to make a show of the Northern Alliance capturing him and turning him over.
From that point forward it was a saga of willful ignorance to the fact that Pakistan would literally do everything to make the mission harder because the US wanted a stable Afghanistan that doesn’t let the Taliban come back and Pakistan wanted an effective zone of no governance that can’t raise claims on Pashtunistan and Balochistan.
Israel are just being a bunch of weenies too afraid to develop a strategy to enter the tunnels to actually pursue any of the goals they claim they’re after while quarantining refugee camps from entryways into the tunnel system to seal anyone hiding or rallying down there off from being able to just hop out and pretend to be civvies at the end of the work shift.
Israel could easily have turned this into a point to point clear and capture operation on the tunnels since it’s so blatantly obvious that Hamas is hiding in there with the hostages, but they aren’t doing that because that would require actually using Israeli troops and Israeli troops are slowly turning more and more mutinous towards the current regime.
