    Some people have asked "Why haven't Russian business elites restrained Putin?" My question would be "Why should they? Western business capitols like London & New York have shown they are always eager to launder Russian money & profit from looting no matter what."

        And "western" corporations have always shrugged at the idea of anti-democratic government so long as it's not communist. They've long since learned they can do business under authoritarian rule.

        in general if you force the wealthy to park their money inside their country they care more about what happens in it. A lot of what we call democracy started because elites were worried about the monarch taking their stuff.
