A six-year-old clip from the Amazon Prime series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan has surged in popularity online, with viewers drawing striking parallels to the recent US military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
In the scene from Season 2, aired in 2019, John Krasinski's CIA analyst character delivers a monologue highlighting Venezuela's vast oil and mineral resources, its humanitarian crisis, and strategic proximity to the United States – themes that echo Washington's stated rationale for the 3 January 2026 raid.
