Shortly after the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro by the United States in an operation that shocked the world, social media quickly pointed to a prophetic scene from the 2019 series “Jack Ryan”.
In a segment from the second season, John Krasinski’s character speaks with a group of CIA agents and points out possible enemies of world peace.
“China. Stop yelling at me, but China is a good answer… Venezuela? Anyone? Does everyone think Venezuela is calm? No threats? Okay. Which of these places can claim to have the largest oil reserves on the planet? More than Saudi Arabia, more than Iran. Wow,” he says, drawing attention to a chart that showed the vast natural resources of the South American country.
“Right, and what about things like gold? More than all the mines in Africa combined? Venezuela is arguably the largest source of oil and minerals on the planet. So why is this country in the middle of one of the greatest humanitarian crises in modern history?” he asks in the clip.
The scene quickly went viral on the internet, with many users pointing to the excerpt from the series as a prophecy by author Tom Clancy.
“Pure nostalgia: while the TV panels were shouting, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan was quietly drawing up the script for Venezuela,” commented one user.
“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan predicted the chaos in Venezuela while everyone else was busy debating on panels,” said another.
