1. "well, they control the advanced nodes!!"" - it is: "Taiwan is home to 92% of the production of logic semiconductors whose components are smaller than 10 nanometers". (https://www.forbes.com/sites/katharinabuchholz/2023/01/13/ad...)

2. "the things you're using these advanced chips for will no longer be relevant", "Missiles and radar powered by Intel/Altera chips will do the job just fine until more domestic fab capacity can be spun up." Hard-disagree. US advantage is in high resolution AESA sensors, thermals, and fast advanced processing and comms. We aren't talking Tomahawks and PESA radars when it comes to competitive advantage.

Finally, there is a reason why domestic fab capacity is ramping up slowly in the US and Russia doesn't have such capability to speak of - it's hard and the major powers are behind.

Which defense contractor is using a sub-10nm process node for products? Every F35 chip is >90nm.

Which adversary would these chips yield an advantage against in a nuclear war?

Domestic fab capacity is ramping up slowly because these facilities are multi-billion-dollar, multi-decade endeavors. Intel's existing domestic fabs can make everything a war-fighting nation could need, capacity and capability-wise.

If true, and I have no reason to doubt you based on the accuracy of your previous messages, you have made your point. I definitely don't know the F-35 chip specs.
