Only problem with this theory is I'm not sure it holds up economically. Most estimates place funding for Russia's army at 90-100 days of deployment. I think they're going for points of interests that have political significance. Essentially all the sites they had historic connection to Soviets (crimea, chernobyl, etc) so they can maintain cultural high ground.
A nation that builds manufacturing its military, can deploy it until it runs out of resources.
The narrative of funding comes from banking cartels, these sanction. Therefore cutting off a nation sanctioned. Sanctions may cause citizens relying on credit, products, and services, and likewise trade to revolt. It can cause military operations to become ineffective and redeploy.
But it's a globohomo narrative largely from nations buying their armies or resources to fund them from somewhere else. No funding, no gas. No funding, no guns. No funding, no mercs.
In the last 100 odd years, a few examples. The British invasion of Egypt the Suez, German tanks running out of fuel, perhaps even Nixon stealing the gold, etc.
It isn't a globohomo corporate structure. Where every eurofighter has had each member topping its pizza, and unless Luxembourg sprinkles little rainbows, Greece will feel left out for making the exhaust.
It's simply all made in Russia unless any supply lines rupture. Funding, what?
Self sufficiency does go a long way. They do have quite a trade surplus which will help. Most important partners are China and Belarus both who at likely to maintain trade.

Sheer force of will won't buy food, gas, and bullets. Logistics are at least 50% of strategy
Yes but they manufacture all of it. That point.
