Well, I'm afraid that posts on the general forums are open and readable by the general internet user who is not a member. Thumbnail images cannot be opened unless you are a member (which is one of the reasons that we enforce a 'thumbnails only' policy.).
I understand your question (it holds me back either). I think the only option is to start a private message conversation, with selected people. Perhaps the mods see another way, even I did not spot after 7 years?
Thanks for the responce. Personally, I’m just too shy to ask for advice in a private message and of course I don’t want to bother anyone when there will probably be quite a few questions and messages for the most experienced and older members here ....I understand your question (it holds me back either).

Don't be shy about contacting someone in a PM. No reason to be ashamed.
I hope your father is better and more respectful that you take care of him. We certainly wish him all the best. Strength to both of you!
One thing you could do, if you want to write a story or some such substantial piece, you could do it as a Word document, or a pdf, and attach it to a post here, then only registered members could access it.
One of the most succinct descriptions of the topic I've seen!
Yes, and Soviet tanks rolling through the streets of Hungary in 1956 to squash a potential rebellion. Unfortunately Hungary stayed under their rule for another 30 plus years.
In my opinion this is a far more dangerous situation than Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968. Those countries were acknowledged to be in the Soviet "sphere of influence" whatever the moral and legal flaws in that. There was no way NATO was going to war over them. And the two countries pretty much accepted that fact; they put up minimal resistance and neither Budapest nor Prague were shelled or bombed.
Yes, as I recall the "Jupiter" missile system was removed from Europe.
Yes, and Xyulo - wanted by criminal international court in The Hague thinks the demise of the Soviet Union was a "tragedy". There is indeed a book called "The Soviet Tragedy", about how much Russia paid for communism. Stalin starved Ukraine (literally) in 1925 during "collectivization" of farming, and Khrushchev was his right hand. (I guess I should stop--off topic for this thread.)
The frightening differences are that Biden is no Kennedy, and that as far as we can see, Xyulo - wanted by criminal international court in The Hague doesn`t have a powerful Politburo full of potential rivals to contend with.
