I was the same. Back then I thought all of the GWB team were good guys. All of them were F***ing globalists through and through. He was one of many who gave away our country.

I appreciated Powell's leadership through the Desert Storm and though he had a great deal of potential for leading our troops and our nation. I started seeing cracks in who he really was once he became our Secretary of State. By the time Obama became president, I had lost almost all respect for Colin Powell as I saw him parroting the "if you aren't black you're a racist" types of comments that came out of the White House.

In the end though, he served his country in uniform for 35 years and that is a contribution that puts our nation in his debt.

RIP.

Yep, that's the complication that killed him.

Get used to seeing news stories about "fully vaxed" people dropping dead of "COVID Complications" over the next couple of years.

He had blood cancer and was 85.

He did not die from COVID complications. He was old and sick.

Yeah but if he didn’t die of Covid how would more people be scared?

I thought it was: Never let a tragedy go to waste.
Not;
Never let an old man die in peace.

I hope not either, but I suspect many will. Make sure you have as few Co-Morbids as possible, load up on vitamins, stay away from sick people, eat clean, get plenty of good sleep, lots of non fluoride and non bottled water, as much sunshine on your skin as possible, and stay active. But then again If folks are checking all or most of those boxes they probably do not need any sort of vaccine in the first place. There are some resources out there to reverse the effects of the jabs, so if/when you are a mind to look into that.

It's interesting to see how people all interpret this news differently.

- Some see it as confirmation that Covid is super scary and deadly. Proof that vaxs are necessary.

- Others see it as proof the vax doesn't work.

- And others see it only as proof he was old and outlived the average American male, nothing more.

I've literally spoken to all three types of people today about this. Fascinating.

And there are those that are glad he is dead, since he was at one time aligned with the evil Bush administration.

People are myopic and fickle and they all suck.

Except most of you on this site, of course. Most of you...

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell dies from Covid complications
His family said that the retired four-star general died from Covid-19 complications. He was fully vaccinated against the disease.
