Andrej Illarionov, if you google the name, you find some interesting detail about him, he certainly is no lunatic , but also, he obviously has a strong personal issue with Putin. Listen to him, he does not seem to deserve to be ignored - but take him with a grain of salt.
I see little signs, or none, that the Russians start to retake Finland.
German finance minister Schäuble yesterday compared Putin to Hitler. That was so very clever, since Schäuble is too high in political callibre as if Moscow can just ignore that. This useless comment will backfire against German investors in Russia, bet on it. Hope he enjoyed the seconds-long relief - it will cost others dearly.
