EVERYONE knows troop numbers because the Russians have been open about it

We also know that, Putin is the nicest guy on the planet, because, the Russians say it and have been open about it. He's the second coming of Christ and is the greatest fearles leader in history. Don't believe me? Check with the Russians, because they're very open about everything.

Now you’re being irrational. This has nothing to do with Putin or how nice he is. Troop numbers are announced by the Kremlin and closely monitored by NATO. They have in no way disagreed about the numbers deployed.

Russia and NATO and Western media largely agree on the number of Russkie troops deployed. If you disagree with those multiple disparate sources, don’t know what to tell ya.
