No, but it can create huge recruitment problems.
In the coming years, the main problem will not be that AI will completely replace programmers, but that it will seriously change the recruitment market. Previously, companies were willing to train newcomers, but now many prefer to hire one strong AI developer instead of several novice employees. Thanks to artificial intelligence, everyone will work 30-50% faster, the company may need 7-8 people instead of 10, which means that new employees will be hired less often. AI will make remote work even more accessible, and if previously a company was looking for a developer in its city or country, now it can hire a person from almost anywhere in the world who effectively uses AI. This will greatly increase the competition between specialists.

The most likely scenario is not the disappearance of the profession, but a reduction in the number of entry-level vacancies, increased requirements for candidates and increased competition.

If the Chinese government continues to allocate huge amounts of money, then yes.
China has proven that it can compete with American companies, and if you follow the same path, you can achieve superiority. However, Americans will have an advantage because English is easier, there is more data for training in the USA, because IT giants are mainly located in the USA, and there is also more money.

The giants of Silicon Valley demonstrate their belief that large-scale capacity building is the key to a breakthrough in the field of AI. However, the emergence of the Chinese company Deep Seek has called this approach into question.

To simplify development methods and reduce costs
C programmers are expensive and there are few of them. Moreover, they can leave for competitors. Meanwhile, the new RUST language allows writing safe code and hiring cheap beginners, which makes development easier and cheaper.

The company is structured in such a way that if programmers do nothing, they don't get paid. The KPI is low because it is calculated based on the number of lines of code written. That's why they love rewriting the same thing 100 times to increase their KPI.

No, this is just propaganda, the same as the use of nuclear weapons, and statements like we haven't even started a war yet.
Belarus has already faced sanctions for helping Russia, and if it had entered the war directly, the sanctions would almost certainly have intensified. The Belarusian army does not have enough power for large-scale offensive operations. An attack would cause heavy losses with limited results, the risk of attacks on the territory of Belarus and being drawn into a long war without control over the outcome. There have already been protests in the country against participation in the war. Direct participation could increase the discontent of the population and increase pressure on the government, as well as create a risk of political instability.

In the long run: participation in the war would almost certainly worsen the situation of Belarus. For the state and the economy: rather disadvantages (sanctions, risks, dependence). For the government: short-term advantages (Moscow's support).
