The soldier looks tiny next to the tank in that picture, funny perspective.

The fact that they act out of legality does not allow baseless extrapolation. Legality is only one of the many and many constraints. I can imagine plenty of reasons for Wagner to not have the intent to force prison recruitments despite them smashing heads. The extrapolation is mostly bound by the limits of your imagination. That's why facts are important, to avoid plenty of disinformation from the variety of imagination of around the world.

I don't have to imagine anything. These are different organizations with different philosophies and different goals. The army can mobilize at will, Wagner is a private international entity that has to attract people, now and after the war.
The point of using facts is to avoid unnecessary extrapolation, especially when we are far from having the optimal knowledge. Until now, I have not seen any claim that Wagner is forcing recruitments in prisons elsewhere, it is just comments in this thread by people who like to extrapolate everything to shape their own world. Much like for some people Putin is already dead and replaced by look-a-likes, etc. It's just disinformation and noise.

I have not seen any evidence that they forced recruitment from prisons. All bit of information I have seen is that it was on a voluntary basis. Unlike the army that is mobilizing people in a very chaotic and brutal way.

As a Frenchman, at least they managed to keep the Germans out.

Yes, but you really don't want the Norse people to start thinking about ways to upgrade their quality of life by "interacting" with their neighbors.

Nope in that picture the size looks totally normal. A bit big, but not Jurassic big. Maybe that's another case of neurological drama like the blue/white skirt-gate.
