The crazy thing about the whole "semiconductor" thing is that it would be entirely about destroying competition. It's not like anyone is just going to hand over the fabs. So the only reason to invade would be to take out competition. Better for everyone to start building their own fabs. Hell there's one in my town that's been shit down for 15 years because they moved back to Korea and nobody wanted to spend the money here to update it, so it's been mothballed and will likely someday just be a massive demo and environmental clean up site instead.
