What other US company has a shot of making a sub 5 nm chip in the next, oh, let’s say 20 years?

Because of this, unfortunately, Intel is too big too fail.

TSMC.

US company. R&D is more important than the fabs. TSMC is under threat from China.

Gee I wonder why the US gov showered TSMC in money to build a fab on US soil.

Again, that is nice in the short term, but not for long term development if the worst happens between China and Taiwan.

We'd still have the fab on US soil even if they went to war. I don't think China would invade the US over it.

		What about the next fab? And the fab after that? Yes, for the short term the USA has a cutting edge fab on US soil, but what about 10 years after that? The US would lack the ability to build future cutting edge fabs.
