Alex Karp, the billionaire CEO of data-mining company Palantir, issues a stark warning: Americans’ safety is non-negotiable.

In an interview with CNBC, Karp emphasized that were he to have his way with foreign policy, he would not be afraid of striking back at adversaries that have hurt U.S. citizens.

“I mainly support, by the way, something that seems to be escaping both parties, which is, if you touch an American, we will inflict pain on you for generations,” Karp said. “That should be the U.S. policy, whether that happens in Gaza, whether that happens in Ukraine, wherever that happens, you cannot touch America,” Karp said.

Karp’s words come as the U.S. is engaged in military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Palantir CEO has previously said that the future could “very likely” see the U.S. involved in a three-front war against Russia, China, and Iran.

Karp told the New York Times that the U.S. could be at a disadvantage in such a conflict because its enemies have equal technological capabilities and less restraint.
