The stupid, it burns. There's ~~130k to 150k~~ possibly 190k troops there now. No previous article mentions that number of troops. This represents an escalation, which is higher than any number in the articles you are linking which means....there are new troops there that were not previously there before. Kinda weird that I have to say something like that out loud.

This also completely ignores the fact that the largest country in the world, specifically massing troops on all borders of a specific country isn't the same as having them distributed anywhere in the country.
