Yes and those Russian semiconductors aren't sophisticated or high end at all which supports my point. The military isn't making cellphones, they make missiles and fly jets with decade old computer chips. A few years of war with China is not going to magically eliminate all computer chips. The global market will still exist in some form and wars are far more motivating than a few government grants. Not to mention China (and/or Taiwan) is still going to want to sell to someone to survive, and those countries can smuggle them into America - just like Russia does for it's drone industry and oil. America is much more capable in that regards with NATO and it's huge purchasing power. I still think TI and Apple should be investing in foundries and domestically. It should just make sense as a business otherwise it's going to be a very expensive embarrassment. |
