I can't see it happening. Then again I am in America where very little gets imported from Russia and even less in terms of consumer goods. European markets will probably be hit harder but its nothing China won't gladly compensate.
Long term I think this will strengthen the Russian economy, provided they take this opportunity to restructure their infrastructure supply chains with a focus on domestic supply routes. Ultimately this may lead to some competition that erodes western influence, but it's something we as Americans I believe are prepared for.
I've worked a lot in manufacturing planning and scheduling for companies that do aerospace, defense, and federal contracts. I've also worked for the federal government. A very substantial amount of consideration goes into our supply chains here in America (we are still catching up on digital supply chain integrity). Integrity is everything. Even when we were in a trade "war" with China recently; sourcing raw materials became more difficult, but only slightly. We were set back a couple of weeks at most.
Russia, on the other hand, obviously has no supply chain integrity. They seem to be barely able to function.
