I think Putin’s intent is to make Russia self-sufficient and protect itself from the globalists.

In principle, the idea is sound.
However, whether or not it can be made to work remains to be seen.

Russia could have done that at any time, long before invading Russia. Just ban all imports - although that necessarily means banning exports too. Of course, there are some very good reasons why that would have been stupid, as Russia is going to find out.

“I think Putin’s intent is to make Russia self-sufficient and protect itself from the globalists.”

It’s not necessary to be self-sufficient to be protected from Globalists, as the Globalists only reside in the West. There is still 70% of the world’s population in non-Globalist countries.

But, I agree, Putin wants Russia to stay clear of the Globalists.
