Democratic leadership is okay with this illegal war and will do everything it can to legitimize it. Schumer is aligned with trumps oil and imperialist goals
Under US law it's probably not illegal given the way trump has framed it, hence why they're not saying it was. It would be too easy to dismiss their criticism if they got such a basic technicality wrong. Side note but I don't know of a relevant international law or treaty preventing this situation either, prior to the orange jackass this wasn't something people considered a concern.
