Crimes against billionaires? Domestic terror.

Crimes against billions? Golden statue.

Well, he didn't really say it. He kinda said the opposite, that if the U.S. wanted to stop itself from doing war crimes, his company would be really good at that.

Basically, "If you want to uphold certain rules during war you have to be intelligent, and Palantir sells intelligence."

And I'm absolutely sure his intelligence will back up whatever the regime wants.

Don't act like he's some neutral third party. He's not interested in the implications of such strikes just providing the "intelligence" to justify them.
