🚨 An Illegitimate President Just Started an Illegal War | Karel Cast Ep. 25-84 This weekend, Donald Trump launched airstrikes against a nation that hasn’t attacked us, hasn’t threatened us, and reportedly has no nuclear capabilities — all without congressional approval, UN support, or public discussion. 🇺🇸 Why?
