We have the best quagmires. No one does quagmires like we do. You've never seen a quagmire like an American quagmire. Putin tells me he wishes Russia could do a quagmire as good as this, but they can't. Europe hasn't had a good quagmire in years, they don't even know how to make them anymore. Quagmires like this are only made in America.

From the PoV of our enemies and rivals, perhaps.
But in the bigger picture? We're still futzing around at amateur hours. The quagmire of the Roman-Persian Wars lasted almost seven hundred years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman%E2%80%93Persian_wars
It still says something if you have to go back over a thousand years to find a worse case.
Rome-Persia is an interesting and arguably worst-case quagmire.
For a mere worse case, a few decades ago is more than enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War
