@FascismIsBack @BillAckman This is factually not true and this is the exact same reasoning why we're in this mess. US is completely reliant on Japan/China. eg. InP feedstock/substrates for AI with photonics. US is reliant on China for manufacturing bodies of humanoids. US is reliant on Russia/other enemies (won't disclose specific names since it's national security risk) through some niche chokepoints. US is reliant on Taiwan/Korea for high end semiconductors. US is reliant on Europe for high-end machines ( $AXIA, $AMSL type) or specific substrates ( $SOI ). Again, supply chain is interconnected. This type of take is the exact reason why the current administration thought it had all the cards. Name one US company that can supply enough raw feedstock required for InP substrates for AI. Name one US company that can completely replace $ASML today. You can't because they don't exist yet.
