I think this is a very good indicator US has been transitioning away from democracy towards something else for quite a while and now it has reached a point where no justification for an illegal war is even required.
After the Iraq war we(US allies that were dragged into this war by a bunch of lies) felt like this was very bad, but it was a blunder of one administration and the trust in the US as a whole was going to be restored.

I don't understand how people can be this naive. It's the only thing the US has ever done for the entirety of it's existence! How did you miss that?

Now, no one even pretends this is the case.
