That's good question that can't be answered by the movies because no adaption gets into CHOAM all that much (if at all)
The Atreides were given control of the most valuable resource in the universe, so why couldn't they borrow against future spice profits, build a massive army and properly defend Arrakis?

When the Democrats lost two years ago not one of them said "arming a genocide and supporting Israel was a mistake" instead they blamed Arab/Muslim voters. These rightwingers here have no problem admitting the war on Iran cost them the election. Interesting.

JD Vance at the Oracle of Delphi: Tell me, what will happen in the midterm elections
The Oracle: the losing side will post Harry Potter fanfiction and Star Wars, while the winning side will post edits of Mussolini
JD Vance smiled to himself, confident…
Because we are going to be out of oil in 40 years, it is the end.
I can’t quite put my finger on it but it feels like we’re heading for some kind of endgame.
None of the moves that the powerful are making make sense from a strategic perspective.
The Israelis have burned all of their goodwill and political capital for Gaza. They’ve lost the young generation of future American voters. But they don’t seem to care.
The Republicans have burned all their capital over tax breaks for billionaires and Iran. They’ve destroyed their own future. But they don’t seem to care.
It feels like everyone is throwing their remaining resources at things with no regard for the future because in a few years we’ll be in a completely different world and none of this will matter anyway.

Lifschitz’s honesty about Hamas sparked so much outrage that within 24 hours, Israel had sequestered all newly-returned captives in a secure hospital wing and banned the media from interviewing them.

From an Israeli intel official in NAZA:
“I hack into the phone of a 12 year old girl. If a girl calls her mom, ‘Mummy,’ she says, ‘when are you returning home? Daddy just came back.’ That’s a message that would alert the system bc it contains the words ‘return’ and ‘daddy.’”
This builds on @yuval_abraham’s previous reporting on the (incomprehensibly evil) “Where’s Daddy” program the IDF built to learn when fathers were at home with their children so they could kill then all at once (along with anyone else killed in the building during the attack).
