    TSMC was supposed to open a plant in the US, but apparently that takes a bit of time to get running.

    I thought the US FAB was also going to be a generation behind?

    Correct. Taiwan considers it a matter of national security to never allow their best processes to be exported. That monopoly is why Taiwan still exists.

    The US gets an unsinkable aircraft off the coast of PRC, while Taiwan assumes all the risks of a war with PRC. If anything the US should show some respects to its allies instead of treating them like disposable pawns.

    The US definitely doesn't give a shit about all those countries.

    But my take is the US is doing it so that it can continue its global dominance. Russia or China will happily take its place if the US relents. Are you willing to take a backseat to China or Russia? Doubtful.
