True you did mention it. Yet, we don’t know what tracking or viruses could be attached. Apparently, a lot of the free games & movies carry such as well. He told me not to risk is not necessart. So, I don’t :)

Counteroffensive is behind schedule, but is going according to plan – Ukraine’s Defence Minister
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has said that the Ukrainian offensive is behind schedule, but is going according to plan.
SOURCE: Reznikov in an interview with CNN
DETAILS: As CNN reported, Reznikov admitted that the offensive was behind schedule, but pointed out that he was “not worried” because it was going according to plan. Reznikov believes that it is a mistake to think that “every counteroffensive should be quick”.
He listed several reasons why the counteroffensive might be slower than expected: ammunition, artillery shells and artillery systems.
QUOTE: “It’s a question of air defense. It’s a question that we have a very long battlefield line also. And we have against us a big quantity of enemies. So it’s war, it’s not a computer game.”
MORE DETAILS: Ukrainian generals and commanders see the real situation on the battlefield, Reznikov stressed, adding that “the main value for us is the life of…our soldiers”.
Reznikov said the situation on the southern front in Ukraine had been slowed down to a large extent by minefields set up by Russian troops. Ukrainian troops were forced to manually clear paths through the fields.
QUOTE: “We need to use our soldiers, sappers and deminers very slowly, and very slowly preparing the corridors for the real offensive movement.”
MORE DETAILS: Reznikov added that such activity in different locations will confuse the Russians about the main direction Ukraine will take.
I could choose a different image hosting site, one that is more common here on FR, one that you could see, but to be honest I am indifferent to your inability to view them.
You were able to see images I posted several months back, I know this because you commented on them. Evidently in the interim your son over-corrected. I am an ancient computer scientist, I am so old I use to scratch 1’s and 0’s onto bare metal. I could solve your problem from my end but I chose not to.
Moreover I think it is an appropriate metaphor, illustrative of your views about this conflict in Ukraine… that you can’t see what everyone else can.
