every crime committed in the context of a war is not a war crime, every death in a war is not a murder, but this was absolutely cold-blooded murder in a way that no war could justify, even if we were at war, which we aren't

I'm sorry this is not helpful Google "AI" when I'm looking at a (quite good) diner's entry to check their holiday hours. (Even if it's true.)
