Hear me out. Imho, Broadcom/Avago is known in the chip industry as the slicer and dicer. Hock Tan is a businessman and a M&A guru. All he does is buy tech companies, keep the profitable units and sells off the unprofitable ones.
Intel is dirt cheap now. The market cap is less than $100b.. It's lower than Nvidia, Qualcomm, Broadcom.. Heck, it's even lower than AMD now. (My, has the tables turned, lol...)
Personally, I think Hock should try to acquire Intel, even as a hostile takeover. He can then sell off the chip/manufacturing groups to the US government, where the US government can nationalize chip production and use it to manufacture defense related/national security related chips onshore.
Now, some people might say that once something is managed by the US government, things move pretty slow... But that's the beauty of this... Intel chip manufacturing and improvement is already slow versus TSM, so they would fit right into the US government profile.
