George Soros, the American financial speculator, stock investor, and political activist, is warning Finland of the superpower aspirations of Russia. In a recent interview with the Finnish business daily Kauppalehti, Soros commented that the current weakness of the USA and the simultaneous strength of Russia cannot be beneficial to Finland.
      "Politically, the new setup is not good. On the contrary, it is a downright dangerous one", Soros commented on the current standing of Finland.
     
According to Soros , the United States has recently lost much of its status in world politics more rapidly than ever before in the country's history, as following the Iraq crisis and President George W. Bush's war on terror, the USA has destroyed its political and financial supremacy.
      "The war against terrorism is based on dangerous miscalculations which have caused chaos in the entire world", Soros noted.
     
Apparently, Russia has benefited from this process. Soros warns that the country, flush with oil and gas revenues, is developing into a superpower, while spreading its power-base also far beyond its borders.
      The bulk of the Soros fortune is attributable to currency speculation. Currently, Soros is investing his enormous winnings in various political and social purposes. One of his targets has been the foundation and fostering of the civic society in Russia.
