1: 20 mi
2: <1 mi
3: either <5 mi (for the small vegetable farm nearby) or 30 mi to a larger orchard/farm. For a full-on commercial farm, 50+ mi i would guess although I've never been to it.
4: The local train station is <1 mi; nearest specifically Amtrak is I believe 20-30 mi, though I've never used it.
5: 15 mi; there's a Target <5 mi.
6: 40 mi, with the regional ~15 mi
I’ve seen a lot of people arguing the US is/would be committing war crimes by bombing/threatening to bomb targets like oil depots, refineries, power plants, and desalinization plants.
I understand the argument for desalinization (causing mass water deprivation), although I do think the argument can at times be considered too broad in that besieging an enemy position is a legitimate military tactic, not a war crime and integrating your military position with existing civilian infrastructure is going to make that infrastructure a target. However for oil depots and power plants, I understand it will dampen civilian life. But this is a war! Denying your enemy electricity and especially oil seems like a textbook way to defeat them. How is that a war crime? When I think war crime I think intentionally targeting civilians outside of any military value, or death marches for POWs, or attacks on cultural sites that aren’t militarily valuable. How could removing your enemy’s energy resources be a war crime?
