It strikes me as hilarious that we want a space station flying around the Moon when we can't even contrive excuses to keep one flying here around Earth.
All that money can be spent on much better things.

It's cheaper and faster to launch stuff now, and any lunar station would be substantially smaller than ISS. I'm a bit dubious about timelines for private space stations to replace it, but that's the plan.
