not saying it's simple. there are big companies in EU like Siemens that I bet are capable of doing it, if it makes sense economically. I guess so far it didn't. probably the reason was that it's cheaper to get the chips from Asia, same as it's cheaper to make iphones in Asia, etc.

Intel isn't capable yet and they are pouring money and have all the incentives to get leading edge node...

You think Siemens which has none of those will be capable to churn out leading edge fabs just like that?

Lets face it, it's not a simple task.
