And this is the German edition of Der Spiegel who seems to be one of the very few German newspapers of the past 48 hours who got ir correctly summarised, saying that it is a rpeort by the NYT (not the WP), that "75000" is the answer given in an analysis of the question how much troops would be needed "if", that it is unclear if it still is just in the planning stage or a decision on executing the plan already has been made and material preparations already have started. There is a special forces unit in Jordan, 150 men, this seems to be certain, tasked with helping the Jordans with refugees and protective measure against Syrian chemicals at the border with Syria.

Many newspapers here stll paint it as if 75000 troops are already standing ready.

Quality "journalism".
