S2E6: Air Force One

We're just not quite ready to let Harrison Ford go yet, so we move seamlessly from Clear and Present Danger to Air Force One, a roughly contemporaneous movie that could fit very neatly into the Jack Ryan universe, as canonically Jack does become President of the United States, in part for his actions during Clear and Present Danger. I hate knowing so much about these fuckin films.
A barely-concealed reaction to the Yugoslavian War, and in particular the Bosnian Genocide, this movie shows the president making a speech in which he promises the US will involve itself at the first sign of humanitarian crisis, rather than waiting for international consensus. This prompts a group of communist revanchists (Led by Gary Oldman) to invade and take control of Air Force One, the president's private plane.

You know, the first and only time I saw this movie was when I was 12 and for some reason remember that our dear Agent Judas was actually the vice president and the whole reason he was going on with the plan was so he would become president. I do not know how I had enough knowledge to know that is how vice presidents work but still was dumb enough to create this scenario.

Every single thing about Dugin that was just said by Abby can be disproven by just reading his writing. Dugin never claimed to be a Communist. You’re literally projecting the movie’s invented ”Neocommunism” on a real person with real complexities in thought. It’s amazing how this Podcast keeps proving that despite all disavowal, Tom Clancy remains the Archon of the KJB cosmology.
