　　Earlier, Powell, who also belongs to the US Republican Party, publicly criticized Trump's handling of demonstrations. Powell accused Trump and the US Constitution of "going further away" and stated that he will vote for the Democratic candidate Biden in the November election.

　　Trump fully fired for attacking Powell, but he accidentally exposed the national secrets of the United States...

"Unknown substance" as evidence

Washing powder is said to be a chemical weapon?

　　Powell was the first secretary of state of African descent in the United States under President George W. Bush and served as a general of the US military. He is also the only African-American among many veterans who have publicly criticized Trump.

　　As a representative of the "hawks" during the George W. Bush period, Powell once produced a test tube of "unknown matter" as "evidence" at the 2003 UN Security Council, accusing Iraq of "biochemical weapons" that could cause "great damage."

　　The statement of "biochemical weapons" was exposed by Russian President Putin. In an interview with French media in 2014, Putin rebuked the United States for making such a statement that it was "nothing."

　　Putin said: "The whole world remembers that the US Secretary of State showed evidence of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in the UN Security Council-those washing powders in test tubes."

　　Putin emphasized: "Ultimately, the US forces invaded Iraq and Saddam Hussein was hanged. Later it turned out that Iraq never had any weapons of mass destruction."

　　After Trump exposed himself as a "national secret", netizens "fried the pan" one after another.

　　Some netizens said: “I heard for the first time that the reason for the US President’s acceptance of the invasion of Iraq was based on lies. People support wars because of these lies, even if they violate the recommendations of the UN Security Council.

　　Others said: "Lies, lies, or lies until people believe you. This is what George W. Bush, Powell, and Biden did when they waged the Iraq War."

Iraq War Timeline

　　The British "Lancet" magazine once published a study on the Iraq war, saying that the eight-year Iraq war cost a total of 810 billion US dollars. The war also killed more than 116,000 Iraqi civilians and killed more than 4,800 joint combat soldiers.

　　On March 20, 2003, the US-British coalition forces launched military operations in Iraq without authorization from the UN Security Council.

　　On April 9, 2003, the US military invaded Baghdad and the Saddam regime in Iraq was overthrown.

　　On May 1, 2003, former US President George W. Bush announced the end of the main war in Iraq, and the US military immediately transferred to a stabilization operation that relied on the remnant Iraqi anti-American forces.

　　On December 13, 2003, Saddam was captured by the US military near his hometown of Tikrit.

　　In December 2008, the US and Iran signed the "Strategic Framework Agreement on US-Iranian Friendship and Cooperation" and the "Agreement on the Status of US Military Forces in Iraq", which came into effect in January 2009.

　　In June 2009, US troops stationed in Iraq withdrew from major Iraqi cities and towns, withdrew combat troops in Iraq on August 31, and reduced the number of US troops stationed in Iraq to 50,000.

Information Figure: On December 15, 2011, the US military stationed in Iraq held a flag-raising ceremony at a military base near Baghdad. This marks the official conclusion of the US-Iraq War, which lasted more than eight years.

　　On December 14, 2011, President Obama of the United States announced the official end of the Iraq war. On December 18 of that year, all US troops withdrew.

　　Because the US military hurriedly withdrew from Iraq at the time, it gave the Islamic State and other extremist organizations the strength to grow in Iraq, leaving them an opportunity. In June 2014, the "Islamic State" armedly captured Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and occupied a large area of ​​land in western and northern Iraq.

　　From 2014 to the present, the US military has re-engaged in operations against the "Islamic State" in parts of Iraq.
