It's funny, because one of the talking points among libs in the early 2010's was about how Russia was working to make its economy more focused on their military production and more insular, so as to be able to more capably produce military needs should the country face sanctions; I think it was a byproduct of the Russo-Georgian war in 2008.

MIC = military industrial complex?

Yes, I just used it as shorthand for military production, edited for a bit of clarity

It was a more common talking point during Obama's second term iirc

Yeah, I'm 28 so I don't remember politically those times, was too young to have an opinion. Thanks for the clarification!
