Is it "legit" warfare to starve a defender?
It is established by many examples of recent wars to open corridors for civilians and then raze the city. Implying that is is tolerated to kill whatever people stay behind and refuse to go. Is it considered legitimate to just starve the defenders instead of kill them another way? Sort of the medieval way of laying siege to a city? Have there been any examples after WW2 (Leningrad siege comes to my mind) for this kind of practice?

This kinda slipped under the radar. Where are now all those guys that claimed this was staged just because one of the pregnant women was an Instagram model/makeup guru?
Do any of them feel maybe a bit uncomfortable? I dont think so....water under the bridge I guess.
