International law prohibits the indiscriminate targeting of civilians or the use of weapons that are by their nature indiscriminate. Of course, those definitions are in the eye of the beholder. US in past has always carved out generous wiggle room (e.g. here in 1995):pic.twitter.com/M37PSFbiqM

So, with international law prohibiting indiscriminate targeting of civilians or the use of weapons that are by their nature indiscriminate, would all strategic counter-value strikes be illegal ? Let's hope some competent judges survive Armageddon !

Technically we don’t target civilians per se. just the places they work and the stuff near them. problem solved!
