Earlier in the war a Wagner fighter who had surrendered was traded back. Wagner then posted a video online showing them killing him with a sledgehammer. Just to convey the message to other fighters that surrender is not an option.
In the mean time the soldiers used as barrier forces (that prevent soldiers from retreating) are Islamic extremists under control of Kadyrov. Look him up, remember all the joyful things Isis did in Syria and then imagine these are your "allies".
Hardly any US aid to Ukraine is money. Mostly the amounts you see is the value of the aid.
The US sends Ukraine weapons and munitions that come from their own stock, and buy new ones for the US
Older munitions that are closing on their expiration date get used instead of the US paying for refurbishment.
Phased out hardware is donated as aid or lend/lease meaning the US buys the equipment they do want instead.
Limited amount of new stuff is donated
The actual money is then spent by the US, on replacement equipment. (This is purchased from US contractors who manufacture the equipment in the US and Pay Americans their salary).
Wanting privacy is OK, and your link to the video on the face ID of the bank also helped explain what you where talking about.
It's the way you wrote it that came across if you where some conspiracy nutcase and that causes downvotes.
Many people share concerns about the use and storage of PII by for profit companies and governments without any oversight on what actually happens with the data. It is good that waryness on who you provide what data to is Becoming more mainstream. I remember years ago people would look at me funny if I replied "no thank you" when asked my zip code in a store. Now a lot more people do it.
They offer large signing bonuses and get their minorities to enlist and get blown up.
Criminals are offered Amnesty for surviving 6 months in a stormZ unit.
Neither are forced. Russian civil unrest will only grow if enough of their soldiers don't make it home. It will take a lot of Ukranian doing in order to combat years of propaganda. But now the government will be forced to spend 30pct of their budget on the military it will be harder and harder to maintain "special military operations" is going to plan.
These telecom titans can plan and manage their networks. This is not strange at all, the bulk was probably phased out already, but all as late as possible to minimize the opportunity cost.
A lot of cruelty actually.

So much cruelty...
