Some nations banks thought they could escape Section 311 of the USA Patriot Act.
The sanctions go after the bank that does the transactions and any bank that deals with that bank.
Then the nation allows the bank to operate.
Nations and banks then have to disconnect from the US and most other banks or just stop doing the transactions.

Foreign institutions have to comply or they cannot get access to the world banking community.

Select from never interacting with any bank or international banking network ever again or tell the US about people using any service.
Report accounts or hops of total isolation start to be enforced. Isolate the service and then any bank or nation that still interacts with that service.
Not been a draft military is what the US military cares about.
The new equipment is expensive and heavy. Every US solider has to carry a lot of equipment.
Water, ammo, body armour, batteries, communications all adds up when running around a mountain.
The enemy grew up in such conditions and does not carry as much equipment.
The enemy has a wrist watch, a commander has a handheld radio. Their clean water is a stream. Their food is total support from all local farmers. Their heavy body armour is their faith.
The only way for the USA to keep winning to get every US solider near special forces fit just to be ready to fight.
So the US mil has to be very selective to ensure all the years of work put into any individual results in a very fit person who can carry a lot and then fight.
The US takes the fight to the enemy in harsh conditions over days. All that weight and ammo has to be carried all the time without any slowdowns.
If the US wanted a draft army they would have to do a Switzerland.
Sit around in the bunker with everything ready. All weapons systems just waiting for the command.
The esprit de corps of sitting in a civilian truck and been driven to a bunker. Driving a civilian truck full of mil supplies and ammo to the bunker.
A Maginot Line draft is easy for a nation thats not going to war. The US is always at war.
When at war you need the best. People who are fit and have always been fit. Well fed and able to carry all their kit for hours in any conditions.
That cant be fixed with politics. Only years of exercise in full heavy kit makes for a strong solider.
The US mil wants to win wars again. Not to have to slow down to a Vietnam like draft politics again.
If you use the product you are helping discover the next Stuxnet, Flame, Duqu, Equation Group.

A larger global pool of users helps track in real time what a normal OS looks like and what slight changes could be the first detection of new gov/mil malware activity.

Thinking has changed a lot from Vietnam.
Vietnam saw a lot of people who had to be found work in the mil.
Lots of work and tech of war was getting too complex to teach average people in a short time.
The change in thinking was to get the fittest people to use the best new weapons. Computers, advanced weapons systems needed more time than a draft offered to learn.
What needs to be carried is getting to be a problem. Ammo, water, a computer, communications, battery packs, body armour, a weapon. Thats a lot of extra weight and heat.
Add in fighting in mountains. Thats more hard work.
The enemy is used to the conditions and has less in the way of water, computers, battery packs, body armour.
The US mil is moving further away from a draft than ever. It needs all its troops to be more like special forces just to carry heavy kit and then be able to keep fighting.
How to get fitter people who can carry a lot of heavy kit? Years of complex exercise work in full mil kit is now needed to just to keep ready for war.
The other problem with the draft is that of hidden medial issues, cults, faiths, criminals, dual citizens and the political. Vetting and testing gets too complex.
That used to be done. Mil people who showed skills in tests got offered to learn more skills and very different gov/mil job offers.
The best got found further testing ensured the US mil got the very best. Worked too well for decades.
The problem with that is the lack of access for contractors. If the mil and gov can find and educate generations of their own staff by doing its own testing?
The new methods open up funding to the private sector. Teaching, equipment sales, course material is done by the private sector.
Secrecy takes tax payer money and locks it up in the gov and mil.
Foreign students doing the same work is more funding. People with needed skills get huge contracts.
Translators, cultural experts who are not just US anthropologists.
If adversaries get into the US gov and mil is that really the fault of the contractors?
The US gov needed staff with language skills, the contractor found the staff with really good skills.
Knowledge of all slang and dialects. Perfect for all gov/mil translation. Qualified in USA.
Sell the US mil on using consumer CPU's to build a big super computer.
Each CPU is low-cost. The technological innovation is in getting the funding to build a super computer with a lot of consumer CPU parts.
Want a more rapid super computer? Buy more consumer CPU from the private sector.
The innovation is only limited by the budget for parts.
Follow the funding. Funds to find and get poor people into college. Make people take out loans or spend their own cash on the course.
The contractors that get to help with education.
A flood of graduates will skills ready for the US gov or mil.
The "willingly taught our adversaries skills they could use against us." will take decades to finally work out:)
The deep thinking on foreign students taking any US classes is that they will totally enjoy the USA. When the students return home they will crave US freedoms.
The risk that they gain some US secrets while learning is worth the long term ability to place US friendly spies deep in their own nations.
They will rise up the ranks of their own nations with the powerful US qualifications and then enjoy spying for the USA.
If not spying then be more open to US contracts or brands.
The college life was so amazing people will return to their own nations and find a way to spy for the USA.
Hearts and minds over decades. Win over a spy by showing them a good time in the USA.
The concept that other nations could fool the US with decades of committed Communists getting a free education in the USA would never work.
Sleeper agents are been sent back with thoughts of freedom.

Just the FRA wanting to keep its third party sigint agreement with the NSA, GCHQ.

The change in the way malware connects.
In the past it would be easy to understand that strange new connection from deep within an OS or network due to a lack of encryption.
It looks the same on every computer or network.
With lots of new encryption products that malware gets more places to hide as something the user could be encrypting.
AC the Why is easy.
When a person takes a break from work the people who stay working for weeks, months and years advance in the private sector.
Put in some effort and get rewarded.
The person returns to work and finds all their colleagues who put the long hours have got advancements and promotions.
Re "higher paying careers."
Some people want to be a doctor or a lawyer or a horse doctor. Some enjoyed studying biology. Some law, some management or arts.
Many nations don't suggest what to study and then offer a job working in a factory that the government has to found a need for that skill in.
People can study for a while, try working in a profession they like and then not work for a time for any reason.
Thats what freedom is. The numbers a gov collects will show that change over a decade of a persons working life after university.
Its not a wage difference. Just people selecting what they want to do with their skills or how to spend their own time.
Re 'Sure I have. It's still not meant to be used as a primary home internet connection."
If it is that oversold and such a poor quality network don't oversell it.
Put real speed and data caps on every account until speeds can be supported again.
Why sell it as an always on, always ready network if it cant support that use?
Just build a real network that can support all the users would be another idea....
