En. text: Who is Colin Powell?
⦁ Colin L. Powell was born on April 5, 1937 in New York City. His parents Luther and Maud Powell moved from Jamaica to the South Bronx. Powell was a professional soldier for thirty-five years. As he gradually climbed the ladder, he earned a degree in economics from George Washington University.
⦁ From October 1989 to September 1993, he chaired the Joint Council of Chiefs of Staff - as the highest-ranking leader of the American military, he led 28 military conflicts, including the 1991 Gulf War.
Január US Secretary of State since 20 January 2001. Powell's wife is Alma Vivian Johnson of Alabama origin, their children Michael, Linda and Anne.
⦁ Colin Powell, a BBC analyst, is a moderate member of the Bush government. This is illustrated by the fact that when the first alarm reports were received in 2002 about various developments in the Iraqi arsenal, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called for a quick military intervention - but Powell suggested he contact the UN. Powell's idea of giving Iraq a final chance of disarmament came about through armament inspectors.
⦁ However, during the Desert Storm, Powell and Scwarzkopf do not resort to a restraining weapon. His best-known action was the Gulf War during the presidency of George W. Bush's father. More interestingly, in the eighties, Ronald Reagan supported his rocket program, known as Star Wars, as a national security adviser.
⦁ Based on his extensive military experience, Powell developed his own military policy doctrine regarding the deployment of American troops abroad. According to the doctrine, soldiers can only be deployed if they have to defend a clear national interest and know the conditions under which they will exit the war. Also, US teams should be deployed only if success is certain.
⦁ In his 1995 best-selling memoir, he reflects on his memories of the Vietnam War: "We should only start a war for purposes that our people understand and support."
⦁ Colin Powell is a black politician who has risen to the highest position in American history - disqualifying the presidential nominee because his wife is too afraid of an assassination.
Col In early November 2004, Secretary of State Colin Powell resigned as one of the most successful and popular politicians in the US government.
⦁ Colin Powell's isolation within the Bush administration began almost at the time of his appointment, and further intensified following the 2001 terrorist attack in New York. At the beginning of his first term in office, George W. Bush did not want to deal too much with foreign policy, nor did he want to pursue the practice of Bill Clinton, who wanted to be involved in all world affairs. So initially Powell got a free hand, but after the terrorist attack, American foreign policy was closely linked to the war on terror, so along with Colin Powell and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, four more began to shape foreign policy, primarily the president and vice president. it includes Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. Colin Powell had a hard time finding the voice with the president's men, especially Dick Cheney, who was Powell's superiors on several occasions. At the time of the 1991 Gulf War, Colin Powell was president of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was responsible for planning and conducting the war, but was always subordinate to Cheney, who served as Secretary of Defense.
Hu. text: Kicsoda is Colin Powell?
⦁ Colin L. Powell 1937 április 5-én született New Yorkban. Szülei Luther és Maud Powell Jamaikából költöztek Dél-Bronxba. Powell harmincöt évig volt hivatásos katona. Miközben fokozatosan emelkedett felfelé a ranglétrán, közgazdász diplomát szerzett a George Washington Egyetemen.
⦁ 1989 októberétől 1993 szeptemberéig a vezérkari főnökök egyesített tanácsának elnöke - az amerikai hadsereg legmagasabb szintű vezetőjeként 28 katonai konfliktust vezényelt, így például az 1991-es Öböl-háborút.
⦁ 2001 január 20. óta az Amerikai Egyesült Államok külügyminisztere. Powell felesége az alabamai származású Alma Vivian Johnson, gyermekeik Michael, Linda és Anne.
⦁ Colin Powell a BBC elemzője szerint a Bush kormány mérsékelt tagjai közé tartozik. Ezt példázza, hogy amikor 2002-ben az első riasztó jelentések beérkeztek az Iraki arzenál különböző fejlesztéseiről Dick Cheney alelnök és Donald Rumsfeld hadügyminiszter gyors katonai közbelépést sürgettek - Powell viszont azt javasolta, hogy vegyék fel a kapcsolatot az ENSZ-szel. Powell elképzelése, miszerint Iraknak adni kell egy utolsó esélyt a leszerelésre, a fegyverzetellenőrök révén valósult meg.
⦁ Powell és Scwarzkopf a Sivatagi Vihar idején Powell azonban nem rest fegyverhez nyúlni. Legismertebb akciója az Öböl-háború volt George W. Bush édesapjának elnöklése idején. Ennél is érdekesebb, hogy a nyolcvanas években Ronald Reagan nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadójaként támogatta a "Csillagok háborúja" néven ismertté vált rakétaprogramot.
⦁ Bőséges katonai tapasztalatai nyomán Powell egy saját katonapolitikai doktrínát alakított ki az amerikai hadsereg külföldi bevetésével kapcsolatosan. A doktrína szerint a katonák csak akkor vethetőek be, ha egyértelmű nemzeti érdeket kell védelmezniük és tudják, milyen feltételek esetén lépnek ki a háborúból. Továbbá: az amerikai csapatokat túlerőben kell bevetni, csak akkor, ha a siker biztos.
⦁ 1995-ben kiadott bestseller memoárjaiban a vietnami háborúval kapcsolatos emlékeire így reflektál: "Háborút csak olyan célért szabad indítanunk, amelyet népünk megért és támogat."
⦁ Colin Powell Amerika történelmének legmagasabb posztjára emelkedett fekete politikusa - az elnökjelöltséget azzal hárította el, hogy a felesége túlzottan félti egy merénylettől.
⦁ 2004. november elején lemondott Colin Powell külügyminiszter, akinek személyében az Egyesült Államok kormányának egyik legsikeresebb és legnépszerűbb politikusa távozik.
⦁ Colin Powellnek a Bush-kormányon belüli elszigetelődése szinte kinevezése pillanatában kezdődött el, a 2001-es New York-i terrortámadást követően pedig tovább erősödött. Első elnöki ciklusa elején George W. Bush nem kívánt túl sokat foglalkozni a külpolitikával, nem akarta folytatni Bill Clinton gyakorlatát, aki minden világpolitikai eseményben részes akart lenni. Powell tehát eleinte szabad kezet kapott, a terrortámadás után azonban az amerikai külpolitika szorosan összekapcsolódott a terrorizmus elleni háborúval, úgyhogy Colin Powell és Richard Armitage külügyminiszter-helyettes mellett további négy ember kezdte a külpolitikát alakítani: elsősorban az elnök, valamint az alelnök, de részt vett benne Donald Rumsfeld hadügyminiszter és Condoleezza Rice nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadó is. Colin Powell nehezen találta meg a hangot az elnök embereivel, közülük is elsősorban a lehengerlő stílusú Dick Cheneyvel, aki többször volt Powell felettese. Az 1991-es öbölháború idején Colin Powell volt a vezérkari főnökök egyesített tanácsának elnöke, vagyis ő felelt a háború megtervezéséért és levezényléséért, de mindvégig Cheneynek volt alárendelve, aki a hadügyminiszteri posztot töltötte be.

"You always have to overcome the pulling power of other people when you want to achieve bigger goals." - "Mindig le kell küzdened a többi ember visszahúzó erejét, amikor nagyobb célokat szeretnél megvalósítani." Gen. G. S. Patton/C. Powell
Wikipedia: Colin Luther Powell (/ˈkoʊlɪn/; born April 5, 1937. -age 82- New York City, New York, U.S.) is an American politician and retired four-star general in the United States Army. During his military career, Powell also served as National Security Advisor (1987–1989), as Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989) and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989–1993), holding the latter position during the Persian Gulf War. Powell was the first, and so far the only, Jamaican American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was the 65th United States Secretary of State, serving under U.S. President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005, the first black person to serve in that position.
Powell was born in New York City in 1937 and was raised in the South Bronx. His parents, Luther and Maud Powell, immigrated to the United States from Jamaica. Powell was educated in the New York City public schools, graduating from the City College of New York (CCNY), where he earned a bachelor's degree in geology. He also participated in ROTC at CCNY and received a commission as an Army second lieutenant upon graduation in June 1958. His further academic achievements include a Master of Business Administration degree from George Washington University.
Powell was a professional soldier for 35 years, during which time he held many command and staff positions and rose to the rank of 4-star General. His last assignment, from October 1, 1989, to September 30, 1993, was as the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military position in the Department of Defense. During this time, he oversaw 28 crises, including Operation Desert Storm in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. He also formulated the Powell Doctrine.
Following his military retirement, Powell wrote his best-selling autobiography, My American Journey. In addition, he pursued a career as a public speaker, addressing audiences across the country and abroad. Prior to his appointment as Secretary of State, Powell was the chairman of America's Promise – The Alliance for Youth, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to mobilizing people from every sector of American life to build the character and competence of young people. He was nominated by President Bush on December 16, 2000, as Secretary of State. After being unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he was sworn in as the 65th Secretary of State on January 20, 2001.
Powell is the recipient of numerous U.S. and foreign military awards and decorations. Powell's civilian awards include the Presidential Medal of Freedom (twice), the President's Citizens Medal, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Secretary of State Distinguished Service Medal, and the Secretary of Energy Distinguished Service Medal. Several schools and other institutions have been named in his honor and he holds honorary degrees from universities and colleges across the country. Powell is married to the former Alma Vivian Johnson of Birmingham, Alabama. The Powell family includes son Michael (ex-chairman of the Federal Communications Commission); daughters Linda and Anne; daughter-in-law Jane; and grandsons Jeffrey and Bryan.
In 2016, while not a candidate for that year's election, Powell received three electoral votes for the office of President of the United States. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powell
"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership." - "A vezetőség a problémákat oldja meg. Az a nap, amikor a katonák abbahagyják a problémák felhozását, az a nap, amikor abbahagytad a vezetésüket. Elvesztették a bizalmukat, hogy tudsz segíteni nekik, vagy arra a következtetésre jutottak, hogy nem érdekel téged a problémájuk. Mindkét esetben a vezetés kudarca jelentkezik."
C. Powell: "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure." - "A sikernek nincs titka. Ez az előkészítés, a kemény munka, a kudarcból való tanulás eredménye."

"Built into each of us is a little calculator that can make judgments that will never appear on a piece of paper. And sometimes you know something's right, you can't prove it to anybody, or you know something's wrong. Little ethical circuit breakers you carry around inside...so I go with my instinct." - "Mindegyikünkbe beépített egy kis számológép, amely olyan döntéseket hozhat, amelyek soha nem jelennek meg egy darab papíron. És néha tudod, hogy valami rendben van, nem tudja bebizonyítani senkinek, vagy tudod, hogy valami nincs rendben. Kicsi etikai megszakítók, amelyeket maga körül viszel ... szóval az ösztöneimmel megyek." source: https://www.achievement.org/achiever/general-colin-l-powell/
