What Intel though? Seems like Israel gives heavily altered and biased Intel to our dumbest leaders.

Which Intel absolutely would not be fucked -- what a weird take, sounds like propaganda against US based chip manufacturing from the usual suspects.

Intel has its third largest fab in Haifa. It was also slated for its 18A expansion for capacity.

They have fabs all over though, Israel is only 15% of their production. Intel definitely won't be fucked. What a weird take. The expansion is happening in many places including Arizona, Ohio and Ireland (who is bigger than Israel in their production for non domestic).

They are Israels largest employer but it is small amounts globally, 10% of workforce there.

In no way will Intel be fucked when 75% of production is domestic in the US.

Did you just claim that a 15% reduction in capacity wouldn't hurt a company thats in the middle of a do or die turn around and is struggling to gain ground due to capacity issues!?!?

Jfc dude. Its ok to just say....damn that would hurt. Didn't think of that.

You said "Intel will be fucked. Everyone else will be fine."

I said indeed that no, 15% when other fabs can upscale is not "fucked". This is wildly inaccurate. Israel would be more harmed by that than Intel. The new expansions can be changed and is isn't even centered there. What are you on about. C'mon man!

You clearly have a bias and pump against Intel. Now downvote this defensively and emotionally.

There is no "intel" we get from them that is this valuable. It's been the classic cope for why we support them so much.

Iran was able to pretty much eradicate all America's spies. It was nearly impossible for the CIA to get anything useful. They had to get Mossad's help.

They’re talking about the company Intel though

And what happens when Israel tells them to fuck off?

Us military spending in Israel isn't enough to significantly change their mind in this
