I met a guy last year who hunted in Germany for a number of days when he was over there to purchase and import a Drahthaar. Said it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the post.Ukraine’s Deadly Gamble
By tying itself to a reckless and dangerous America, the Ukrainians made a blunder that client states will study for years to come
I just don't see that level of planfulness by "the west". The west is largely trapped in internal cultural wars (it's not just the US dealing with polarization problems), focused on immediate-term stock market maintenance, and challenges of how to fund an ever-growing list of entitlement programs in the face of ballooning budget deficits and aging/shrinking populations.
No doubt we love our rhetoric and platitudes about global democracy, and no doubt we leave once claimed friends in the lurch when our political winds blow (see, US supporters in Vietnam, Iran and Afghanistan if you need reminders of how this goes), but I don't see this as in any way orchestrated against Russia over the last couple of decades. In fact, part of Putin's petulance is driven by the realization/insult that Russia isn't center stage anymore and frankly no one is paying that much attention until he acts badly.
The US, UK and Russia all agreed in writing to guarantee Ukrainian sovereignty in return for the then-new Ukraine giving its nukes to Russia. An agreement Russia has openly violated for the last decade and of which the US and UK have done little to live up to.
But none of this makes me think the west has orchestrated this and provoked Russian aggression as a result. I view Putin as a bully with dreams of reuniting Stalin's empire. This was happening with or without our public displays of "support" for a democratic Ukraine or various "colored springs around the globe". We love to cheer the "springs", but we haven't lifted a finger to support any of them - as they are internal movements, not specific policy of the west.

List of predictions of the end of the world
There's always been good business predicting the end of the world. The "end" of the "world" is pretty badly defined by most supernatural predictions. The rapture, for instance, is really just the beginning of the end, and signals civilization being sent back to the Stone Age for a bit. During...

Redman - "Not my prediction.. Just the one that I know as "Truth"."
As a Christian myself, those posted lists are full of folks that thought they could decern the Lord's "Truth" in their own human terms. So far they have all been wrong. I trust the Lord will act in his own time and his own manner and I can not fully know or predict either.
