I would like to challenge the notion that you absolutely need state of the art fabs to win a war. Most military gear uses "proven technology" several generations behind SOTA. When push really comes to shove there is a lot you can do with the chips you already have and nationalizing the fabs under your control. The dependence on oil from the Middle East is comparatively a bigger problem for the West (though not for the US with its shale oil reserves).
