Powell is dead —
Colin Powell, the first black secretary of state in the United States, died of complications from covid-19 at the age of 84.
The black American who once made history has walked through the bleak childhood of the slums, the glorious war years, the absurd White House career, and has come to the end of his destiny. Is it Jephreyah? What is the merit? Only for the History of the United States to be written.
The former leader, former US President George W. Bush, expressed his condolences, but the Americans questioned George W. Bush on social platforms:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > what dark secrets are hidden in that can of "washing powder"? </h1>
What is "laundry detergent"? This was a stain on Powell's political career, and he himself said in a 2010 interview: "I regret it now because I gave the wrong information." I will always be seen as the one who made this claim in the international community. ”
As early as 2003, as George W. Bush's secretary of state, Powell pulled out a vial containing white powder at the United Nations General Assembly and called it the "weapons of mass destruction" of the Iraqi Saddam regime, but knowing that Saddam Hussein was hanged, the US military did not find these "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.
Russian President Vladimir Putin quipped: The can of white powder may be "washing powder".
Powell's "washing powder" is not a killing weapon, but a killing machine, and in the undercurrent, the secret of the White House is surging.
Powell said, "This incident will take a prominent place in my obituary." "Nowadays, a word has become a slur.
With the death of Powell, the secret of "washing powder" is forever buried in the dust of history. George W. Bush can breathe a sigh of relief, the historical truth of the Iraq War, and there is one less person who has personally experienced it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" > first, poor black people in the slums</h1>
The black man, born in 1937 in Harlem, a slum in New York, was snubbed in his early years.
His parents were immigrants from Jamaica, his father, Luther, was a porter at the docks, and his mother, Ariel, was a seamstress. As a child, every Friday night, Powell Jr. went to work in a synagogue, earning 25 cents to supplement his family.
After graduating from high school, Powell had to study at the low-cost City College of New York, and in college, he joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps and became a member of the paramilitary organization of the Pershing Rifle Society. His military career activated Powell's wolf nature.
In 1958, at the age of 21, Powell graduated from college, and when his classmates were looking for jobs and entering the workplace, he joined the U.S. Army. The turning point of his fate is also about to appear.
After participating in the short-term special training of the Einstein at Fort Benning in Georgia, Powell was sent to Germany as a second lieutenant platoon leader, you know, Germany at that time was a bridgehead of the Cold War. Powell's experience became the golden endorsement of his future rise in politics.
In 1962, Powell went to the battlefield of the Vietnam War as a military adviser, and his resume was marked with a gold content.
A year later, he returned to Fort Benning, Georgia, to attend the Infantry Officer Advanced Training Course, and then was selected to study at the U.S. Army Command and Staff College in Fort Covent, Kansas.
In 1968, he went to the Vietnamese battlefield again, except that by this time, he had become the staff assistant of the division commander. Powell, who had accumulated enough political credentials, reversed course: It was time to enter politics.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > second, the rise of the black general star</h1>
In 1969, Powell came to Washington, D.C., to pursue a master's degree at George Washington University, but in fact, to build a network of connections in political circles.
After that, Powell entered the Pentagon, directly became a protégé of the secretary of defense, and once handled the "Iran-Contra Incident", and was later promoted to lieutenant general.
In 1987, Powell became National Security Adviser, becoming the first black man to hold a seat in the White House. It was at this time that he took the bush family, an old political family in the United States.
After bush sr. took office, he appointed Powell as commander of the US Army Forces Command and promoted him to general, and was later pushed by bush to the high position of chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The elder Bush was a war hero and played the war card during his tenure. During bush's tenure, Powell commanded the U.S. invasion of Panama, the dispatch of rescue teams to El Salvador, the invasion of the Philippines and Somalia, and the famous Gulf War.
In the Gulf War, Powell was free to dispatch, thick and thin, played out the US military prestige, and was once regarded as a national hero of the United States.
If Powell's political career ends here, he will be extremely honored.
However, history does not assume.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > third, the Bush family's "house slave"? </h1>
Powell's life is closely related to the Bush family, and he is even called "the bush family slave" by the American media. ”
After bush stepped down, Powell immediately retired from the army and advanced and retired together.
In 2001, George W. Bush stepped into the White House, and Powell, a "house slave," was once again invited out of the mountains.
This time, Powell served as secretary of state and was pushed by George W. Bush to the forefront of the war.
At that time, he escorted Bush Sr. Bush's war plan, and this time, he became the "insurance officer" who launched the war machine of Bush Jr.
It just didn't occur to him that the last time, he was the beneficiary of the war, and this time, he became a shield for the war.
And the Bush fathers and sons, as well as the military-industrial interest groups with whom they have close contacts, do not mind the discredit of a chess piece.
And then, it was the United States that we are familiar with that folded the Middle East and created a mess.
Whoops, how many conquests in the United States, all paid the jokes of those with vested interests.
