I think globalism was a nice thought and now we've seen the havoc it can bring when unchecked. We need to pull back a bit and reassess depending on the likes of Russia and China for critical items like chips, natural resources, etc. By all means promote trade amongst friendlies (western and certain SE countries) but we need to be very careful of the others, and balance it out with security at an input to the system, whereas currently we depend on relatively peaceful nations. Recent belligerence points out that that can never be taken for granted. On the flip side, if we were to completely abandon trade with China that is probably a bad idea as well, as they have no incentive to not take over Taiwan, Australia, Japan, etc.
