Countries that still believe in the rule of law need to enact their own Magnitsky Act (sanctions) and freeze any stolen money that's being laundered for Putin or other oligarchs. The oligarchs are stealing from the Russian people and hiding it in banks and investments (like property and stock purchases) in the US and Europe. Countries that allow this to happen are a party to their theft. It's that simple.

We need to revoke corporate personhood & make corporations serve the communities they are in, not just the shareholders. There has to be a balance.
Those two things would go a long way to giving power back to the people.
