• playablecharacter said “2000 troops is nothing. besides, what does trump is isolationist mean anyway? if he can say, I teamed up with putin and set up safe zones in syria and helped syria, he will win popularity points. 2000 isnt 5000 or 20000 or 100000.” on 2017-02-10

• Bruno Parga said “The number was about 2,000: https://goo.gl/9cMxma . Seems like, for a period, at any given time the number was as likely to be over that as under. I say judge the prediction right b/c there almost certainly were slightly >2,000 at some point.” on 2018-01-02
