The Terminator...I thot I would use those words so I could get an answer to what..?

If this was to happen, bet money it would happen in China, where they could pull that off both economically and in terms of m forced labour. Not a big fan of m forced labour otherwise. It's hard to force without compelling pressing interest, and space stations and moonbases don't really make the cut. The last time Western democracies really engaged something with such universal force was WWII, likely.
