He's right.
U.S. will very likely fight a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran, Palantir’s Alex Karp says
He told the New York Times that he thinks the U.S. will “very likely” find itself in a three-front war with China, Russia, and Iran. As a result, he said, the Pentagon should continue developing autonomous weapons at full speed, pointing to big mismatches in how far the U.S. would be willing to go while fighting a war compared with other countries.
“I think we’re in an age when [a] nuclear deterrent is actually less effective, because the West is very unlikely to use anything like a nuclear bomb, whereas our adversaries might,” he added. “Where you have technological parity but moral disparity, the actual disparity is much greater than people think.”
Karp continued: “In fact, given that we have parity technologically, but we don’t have parity morally, they have a huge advantage.”
He also said the military is very close to the threshold where “somewhat autonomous drones” that can kill become the most important weapons.
“You already see this in Ukraine,” Karp noted.
