Repeating that over and over accomplishes absolutely nothing.
US is the only reason this war is still going, and once US inevitably abandons Ukraine things will get a lot worse.
Meanwhile, Russia is very obviously not going to fuck off at this point. The sooner people Ukraine start engaging with reality the better off things will be for Ukraine.
Your country is a genocidal regime that's responsible for some of the most despotic crimes against humanity. Currently, your regime is cynically using the people of Ukraine as a way to try and weaken Russia as the paper RAND published prior to the war very clearly explains.
This hubris isn't going well for you.

Pretty sure Star Trek is actually full on communism given that they're a classless and moneyless society.
Turns out automating any work where is a specific desired outcome is really difficult because the type of AI we have today doesn't really have any understanding of what it's doing in any meaningful sense. This makes it pretty much impossible to guarantee that it will behave in a correct way when trying to accomplish a task. The cost of mistakes when applying AI in the real world is very high. A robot that does that wrong thing can cause a lot of physical damage and can even kill people.
On other hand, a lot of creative jobs are low risk. If an article has a typo or an illustration has some weird artifact that's typically not a big deal. Worst case you can get a human to do a second pass to clean it up. This makes AI an attractive proposition for companies since it allows them to cut their staff and just keep a skeleton crew that manages the algorithm.
You're obviously going to believe whatever you want to believe. All I can tell you is that I lived in USSR and I was happy there, and plenty of other people were too as the polls I linked above clearly show. There are always going to be people who are unhappy everywhere, what matters is that the system works for the majority.
I think we'll find out soon who's underestimating and who's overestimating what US is producing. However, all the official sources from US disagree with you right now. And again, Ukraine isn't a core interest for US and they're not going to send every last bit of weaponry to Ukraine. Here's what Obama had to say in 2016:
Meanwhile, Russia was producing over a million shells a year even before the war started, and has only increased up production since then

CSIS just published an article admitting that Russia isn't going to be running out of missiles either https://www.csis.org/analysis/russia-isnt-going-run-out-missiles
tank production in Russia is ramping up too https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2023/06/29/russias-uvz-halts-all-secondary-output-begins-tank-mass-production/
The reality of the situation is that Russia has a state run military industry that it inherited from USSR, while the west has privatized industry. It's much easier for Russia to ramp up production than it is for the west.
Finally, there's China with an industrial base that dwarfs the west. China needs Russia to secure resources and as a shield in the west. The worst possible outcome for China would be if Russia was balkanized by the west and US was able to install puppet regimes there. If Russia ever found itself in a difficult position then China will step in and provide support.
People like Mearsheimer explained in detail precisely how the west used Ukraine to escalate tensions over seven years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
You still don't seem to understand that your country is just seen a pawn by US, they don't care about you at all. RAND literally published a study titled Extending Russia explaininig how Russia could be drawn into a war in Ukraine. They weren't even hiding it. Yet, some clowns still think that the west is there helping them.
This all ends when US decides they've invested enough into this grift and move on. The same way Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan ended. If you think you're country is going to be the one where it's different you're even more of a 🤡 than I originally thought. You're just a resource being spent in a geopolitical game US is playing.
Using GDP as a measure is completely meaningless because much of US GDP is fictitious. For example, healthcare insurance industry accounts for a large chunk of GDP in US employing tons of people while providing net negative value.
The reality is that US spends more on military than the next 10 countries combined. It's over 800 billion at this point, and this only accounts for direct military spending, and the real number is much higher.
For context, overall manufacturing output of US is only around $1.9 trillion.
You seem to be ignoring the concept of purchasing power here.
My point was that GDP is not a useful metric, and I even gave you a concrete example of why.
