Gerasimov - the assassinated Russian General was using a coin operated phone box....
well OK sufficiently loose live communications that the Ukrainians cd tell where he was and take him out

or in kalashinikov speak - russian field communications not secure

and they did it before....( someone else obviously - note to self, you are on AB ! )

^^^^That's a mistake don't open that link!

[naomi24]

Khandro, report it and get it removed.

Doesn't seem to have worked. But then it seems like you tried in effect to share the email you received, which never works.

Instead, you can try one of the following:

1. Right-click on the pictures to save them to your computer, then upload to some image-hosting site, eg https://imgur.com/ or https://imgbb.com/ . Then share the links it creates.

2. If the pictures themselves were attached to a news article, share that instead.

3. Describe them to us.

I don't think there were any security issues behind sharing that link, by the way, so no need to worry. But it's gone anyway.

[Khandro]

Thanks jim, the pictures are attached to an email & are html but none of those suggestions seems work - I'm not good at this sort of thing

[naomi24]

I can't help thinking this war is about to escalate.

That's a shame, Khandro. Feel free to describe them a bit, though: what were they of? Or, given that they came from a friend, are they a bit too personal to share? No worries if so.

[Khandro]

jim, No, not at all personal; my golf- friend who owns a travel company

https://www.schweizer-reisen.de/

(that's Wolfgang at the top on the left) took one of his coaches to Poland with medical supplies & has brought a coachload of refugees back here.

I haven't seen him since he returned yesterday, but the pictures were seemingly taken at a school, showing a human chain offloading boxes of medical supplies & equipment, a scene of maybe a hundred provisional beds on the floor of the gym, another of them (all women & children) looking forlorn & preparing to embark for here, Germany - about a one thousand k. journey.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is that the wrong link?

[naomi24]

It's a link to Khandro's friend's travel company website, Corby.

[THECORBYLOON]

I was expecting to see a photo of his pal.

The, "(that's Wolfgang at the top on the left)" bit.
