Even in the worst days of Afghanistan for the Soviets, this kind of loss rate took 2-3 months minimum.

That's a lot of aircraft. Here's further analysis. Plus they're abandoning tanks, soldiers may just be taking off their uniforms and walking to Poland. Surface to Air missile systems too, as if they needed even more.

Having land use policy made at a hyper-local level is not an inherent aspect of democracy.
They do it differently in Japan and even in far-off exotic Canada. The YIMBY proposition is we should have a larger state government role in land use.
People know that allowing denser development is good in aggregate, they only oppose it when you give them a chance to oppose it in their back yard. Move it to the state level and you get the outcome you want democratically.

There were a fair number of jokes about this incident. (Recall Rick Scott is the Republican senator promising to unpopular policies if republicans win.)
