“effectively strike St Petersburg”

International law prohibits attacks on civilians.

That was not the case during WW2.

Stalin moved most arms factories to the Urals in WW2.

"International law prohibits attacks on civilians."

I guarantee you that if America was facing defeat in a major war that attacks on civilians would happen just like they did in WW 2. It's a rule designed by countries that think they're on top of the heap and that they will never again fight for their lives. History has a funny way of making idiots like that suffer the consequences of their own delusions.

The issue is NATO's ability to attack Russian military bases there, as well as other infrastructure such as petroleum and gas terminals.
