They shouldn't worry. These 'friends' will have much to celebrate soon, and we already have a precedent with our party hats. Much fun.

Just in case you were half-serious about this question, 3D printers print out solid objects of a certain material in a specified shape. So a cube, a sphere, a pipe, etc.
It will not print out fully assembled machinery, but it can print out parts that can then be manually assembled into a working machine. The limitation is on the material. For example, if you wanted to print a light bulb, you would need a printer that could print glass, copper, and tungsten. I'm not sure if it's currently possible to 3D print glass. If, on the other hand, you wanted to 3D print a bicycle, you would need to print out the frame, the wheels, the tires, the chain, the pedals, etc. all separately, and then put them together yourself.
I'm inclined to think this is trolling or parody. This guy is putting up videos of perfectly ordinary scenes and captioning them with sinister sounding phrases.

It benefits America to throw tens of billions of dollars at Ukraine while watching its European partners in the tech/trade war against China get reduced to irrelevency from economic blood loss? Russia's not going to take America's crown; China is the only country to watch out for. America's only hope against China in the tech war is outside help, and I mean a mountain load of it. If they crash out and America's left to one-on-one China, or even anything somewhat resembling that, it's a country of 330M liberal arts majors against a country of 1.4B with the highest STEM grad production in the world.
Yeah, when Ukraine belongs to Russia. Short of that, what they've robbed from Russians who trusted Western banks isn't enough to cover the damage from a day's worth of air raids.

You seem to be operating under a misconception. There is a competition in speed of computing; there is no competition in artificial intelligence.
The fundamental, immutable law of AI is that models get smarter with more data. If you want your AI to spew profanity and peddle bullsh*t, you feed it data from the internet cesspool made up of 90% fake news. But if you want your AI to do something useful in the physical world, you give it data collected from the physical world.
This is why Internet of Things is, in fact, the true measure of AI development. IoT is the giving of physical objects digital footprints so they generate (quantity) and interconnect (quality) data. From that understanding, you can then extrapolate that artificial intelligence is not tied to software development at all, but rather hardware development: whoever can produce and connect the most IoT devices to attain valuable real life data.
When I frame the AI "race" in terms of production and structural implementation, who is leading becomes obvious. Making a neural network that analyzes daily consumption trends to optimize power grid operation for millions of people is useful. Making a chatbot that imitates redditors or used car salesmen is useful... for a nation of bellicose politicians.
Truly revolutionary technologies have no place in the West. After all, they do not really produce anything other than meaningless media, legal services and financial loopholes. For those, a 2D printer does just fine.
So far Putin's speech has been an american sized Nothingburger, seems it will be more of the same.
