It's possible that the US acquires what it wants by simply conquering the producing countries by force. The US gets back it's industrial base by force.

The US is going to conquer China by military force? That seems unlikely when they both have nuclear weapons.
It wouldn't be a solution even if it was possible. If China was a US territory and still did all the same manufacturing, how does that help the people in the rust belt get better paying jobs, or address the single point of failure where some turmoil in Asia can disrupt global supply chains?
The only thing that works is to diversify manufacturing out of that single region, and that doesn't require conquest.
