In the hours following the United States operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, fans quickly pointed to Jack Ryan Season 2, released in 2019.
In the hours following the United States operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, social media users began drawing unexpected parallels with popular culture (Nike being one of them). In this case, users turned to Amazon Prime’s political thriller Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Clips from the show’s second season flooded social media, with users suggesting the series had uncannily «predicted» the unfolding crisis in Venezuela.
The comparisons gained traction as President Donald Trump confirmed that United States forces carried out overnight strikes and detained Maduro, later sharing an image showing the Venezuelan leader blindfolded aboard a United States naval vessel.
