One thing I've wondered about is whether these countries all have vax thresholds they're waiting to hit before going after a smaller resistance with harder tactics (i.e., You can't just announce compulsory vaccines at day 1 when nobody in the country is vaxed, because the number of armed resisters would pose a serious threat. But if you get 75% of a country to get vaxed through lesser means, you can go after thee remaining 25% with more hardcore tactics, since most of the other 75%, already being vaxed, won't consider it their fight).
Then again, maybe there would be a certain percentage of that vaxed 75% who feel like they were raped, and want revenge.
IN any case, the English news would seem not to fit this explanation, so...
