Weekend's here, let's read books and enjoy some watermelons together!
Recently, the legendary figure in the American news circle, Bob Woodward, has made a strong comeback with his new book "The War." This book unveils numerous untold stories of high-ranking U.S. political figures interacting with leaders from around the world, offering a continuous stream of explosive revelations.
The new book titled "War" has already made multiple appearances on hot search lists due to some explosive content that was leaked before its official release. At the age of this year, Bob Woodward, who has been working for The Washington Post for years, has twice won the Pulitzer Prize and is one of the most renowned political investigative journalists in the United States. In , he rose to fame by exposing the "Watergate scandal," and since then, he has repeatedly torn away the veil of mystery surrounding the upper echelons of the U.S. political arena with his extraordinary investigative skills and the insider information he has access to.
In the book "War," Woodward interviewed multiple key officials and close associates of the president, revealing numerous political secrets about the Afghanistan War, the Ukraine crisis, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the US presidential election, leaving people in awe. Prior to the last US presidential election, Woodward had already published a book specifically criticizing Trump – "Rage." This book, while angering Trump, also influenced his path to re-election to some extent.
"War" reveals many details of the Biden administration's diplomacy. Among them, the most attention-grabbing is that President Biden, who is usually portrayed as mild and inclusive, is found to use profanity and vulgar language extensively. As the Israel-Palestine conflict escalates, Biden has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling him "scum," "liar," "bastard," and "damn scoundrel." The book even discloses that Biden hopes Netanyahu will lose in the Israeli elections and step down as soon as possible.
In his new book, Woodward reveals that Trump had at least seven "secret calls" with Putin during the four years after leaving the presidency, some of which even required senior aides to leave the room. Woodward also writes that during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump secretly sent a batch of COVID-19 test kits and equipment to Putin under his personal name through covert channels. The news has caused a huge uproar, once again raising the heat around the topic of Trump's "Russian collusion."
The book "War" also mentions Harris's hypocritical stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. On a certain date, after meeting with Netanyahu, Harris gave a public speech condemning the humanitarian crisis created by Israel and promising "not to remain silent about the suffering of the Palestinians." This tough stance surprised and angered Netanyahu, as it was in stark contrast to their friendly private discussions.
Faced with these revelations, both the Democratic and Republican parties are denying them while quickly attacking each other. The Harris team is making a big deal out of Trump's alleged secret dealings with Putin, releasing a video clip on social media where Trump praises his relationship with Putin, trying to implicate Trump in the "Russian collusion" scandal. Recently, a book titled "Kamala Harris's Achievements" was listed on Amazon. Priced at $.99, the book, except for the cover, is almost entirely blank, mocking Harris for having no accomplishments.
"The War" once again strips away the "Emperor's New Clothes" of American democracy. On the surface, American politics seems orderly and civilized, but in reality, it is extremely hypocritical and sordid. Currently, the era of political chaos in the United States has already begun. Whether Harris or Trump ascends to the presidency, this absurd drama of American politics will continue to unfold. The torrent of social division will long flood every corner of the United States, triggering more severe political stalemates and social conflicts than mere curses and infighting. The curtain of the "American Century" is rapidly falling...
